Mansfield Shire
A two and a half hour drive from Melbourne, Mansfield Shire is situated in Victoria’s breathtaking High Country.
Encompassing mountains, rivers and lakes, the shire has a population of 7,527 and attracts approximately 1.2 million visitors each year – many of them visiting Mt Buller and Mt Stirling Resorts, Lake Eildon and the Alpine National Park.
Now a lifestyle location of choice with tourism underpinning the economy, the region developed quickly from the 1860’s, based largely on gold, timber harvesting and farming. An expanding professional and commercial services industry is well supported by permanent residents and the large number of non-resident home owners.
Tourism, agriculture, light industrial and forestry related activities are the shire’s key industries, and the area is in high demand for recreation and lifestyle activities.
