Shire of Nillumbik, Administrative division in Victoria, Australia.
The Shire of Nillumbik is an administrative division in northern Victoria covering around 432 square kilometers of land. The area contains urban neighborhoods alongside rural communities and natural reserves spread across the region.
The Wurundjeri people originally inhabited this land before European settlers arrived in the 1830s. European settlement led to the establishment of the Parish of Nillumbik in the region.
The name Nillumbik comes from the Woiwurrung language meaning 'Bad Earth', reflecting the Indigenous Australian heritage rooted in this place. This heritage remains part of how locals understand their region today.
Public libraries including Eltham Library and Diamond Valley Library provide services to residents and visitors. These facilities are part of the Yarra Plenty Regional Library network and offer resources across the area.
The area has developed a strong artistic and creative community over recent decades that remains visible today. Many artists and craftspeople have settled in the rural sections and contribute to the character of local communities.
