School zones for 2025
- Salisbury High School high school
The middle of Edinburgh is in these government school zones (in South Australia only some schools have a zone). A zone is set by your exact address, and streets near its edge may be zoned for another school, so check your address with the school before you rent or buy.
Government schools only: South Australia doesn't publish an open list of Catholic and independent schools. Distances are in a straight line from the middle of Edinburgh. Check enrolment rules with the school or the state's education department. We don't rank or rate schools.
Bushfire map
- The state's map shows no bushfire-prone land in Edinburgh.
These are planning maps. They decide building rules, like how a new home must be built. They aren't an insurance price or a promise: a place outside them can still burn or flood. Check a street address on SAPPA, the SA Property and Planning Atlas.
