Mount Jagged is a locality in the Australian state of
South Australia located about 55 kilometres (34 miles) south of the state capital of
Adelaide and about 16 kilometres (9.9 miles) north-west and 15 kilometres (9.3 miles) north respectively of the municipal seats of
Goolwa and
Victor Harbor.[1][5]
The boundaries were created in August 1998 for the part in the
District Council of Victor Harbor and then again in August 2000 for the part in the
Alexandrina Council. Its name is derived from Mount Jagged, a hill located within its boundaries.[1][10]
The
Victor Harbor Road passes through the locality.[1] Land use within Mount Jagged is limited to non-broadacre farming and horticulture due to its location within a zone for the protection of groundwater intended to supply the needs of the town of
Mount Compass.[11][1]
