Follow us for updates, opportunities, and ways to get involved in shaping the Shire we all call home. Indigo Shire is located in Victoria’s picturesque North East, a three-hour drive north of Melbourne. Our region is a rich blend of heritage architecture and pristine natural environment and includes the townships of Beechworth, Chiltern, Rutherglen, Yackandandah, and the smaller communities of Wah
gunyah, Barnawartha, Kiewa-Tangambalanga and Stanley. In 2019, we became one of the first local government organisations in Victoria to declare a climate emergency. Inventiveness, ambition, passion and innovation runs deep in our region, ever since the discovery of gold in Beechworth attracted thousands here in 1852. By 2031, Indigo Shire will be home to many thriving communities that are healthy in every way through sustainable growth, environmental sustainability and climate action, liveability and services, connection, and wellbeing across every age group and life stage.
