It includes the former Moonta Hospital in Majors Road, which closed in December 2013.

It also includes a "rural living" area to the west of the residential area, bounded by Haylock Road, Muddy Lane and Binney Road. The remaining two-thirds of the locality is zoned for primary production. [2] On 14 August 2014, it received additional territory from Warburto and Cross Roads as part of a boundary realignment of the local area. [5]
