Shire of Macedon Ranges

The Shire of Macedon Ranges is an administrative area between Melbourne and Bendigo that spans native forests and agricultural land. The region includes several major towns and forms an important rural space with mixed land use.

The administrative area was created in 1995 through the merger of several neighboring councils into a single structure. This consolidation brought various municipal services under unified management.

Local communities gather regularly at the Macedon Ranges Wine and Art Festival, where regional producers and artists display their work. This event reflects the connection between winemaking and artistic practice that shapes the area.

The administrative center in Kyneton is the main point for government services, with additional offices distributed across Gisborne and Romsey. Visitors can find local information there and learn about the region's offerings in person.

The volcanic soil throughout this area creates exceptional conditions for winemaking and diverse agricultural activities. These geological features have made the region a notable wine area.
