Naracoorte Lucindale is forecast to accommodate steady population growth and increased housing demand under the state government’s newly released Limestone Coast Regional Plan 2026, with the council area expected to grow to 9,903 residents by 2041.

Almost $13m was held in various Naracoorte Lucindale Council coffers at the end of last year.

The Limestone Coast is not just another region on a map. It is one of South Australia’s most productive agricultural and food-producing landscapes, generating billions of dollars each year, supporting thousands of jobs, and underpinning food security well beyond our state’s borders.
