Moorabool Shire is a semi-rural municipality that combines provincial living with easy access to the city, is a popular tourist destination and centre of a large agricultural industry. It has strong population growth of approximately 2% per year in its largest township of Bacchus Marsh.

Moorabool’s communities are culturally and socially diverse and boast 64 localities, hamlets and towns. All localities cherish their individual heritage and identity.

When it comes to real estate, Moorabool offers new residents real advantages.

The cost of housing and land is almost half the Melbourne average, and there is plenty available. Recently, more than 800 hectares of land with rolling hills and excellent rural views have been identified as suitable for residential development.

The semi-rural environment only a short drive from Melbourne in the East contrasts with true rural living options deeper into the countryside in other directions.
