OUR SHIRE<br />
<strong>Gannawarra</strong> <strong>Shire</strong> is located beside<br />
the Murray River, in the Loddon<br />
Murray region of the northwest of<br />
Victoria, three hours’ drive from<br />
Melbourne. The municipality spreads<br />
over 3,736 square kilometres. More<br />
than 11,000 people call <strong>Gannawarra</strong><br />
<strong>Shire</strong> home.<br />
The main population centres within<br />
the <strong>Shire</strong> are Kerang and Cohuna,<br />
with townships of Koondrook, Lake<br />
Charm, Lalbert, Leitchville, Macorna,<br />
Murrabit, Mystic Park, and<br />
Quambatook.<br />
The climate and landscape of<br />
<strong>Gannawarra</strong> is ideal for a wide range<br />
of agricultural, industrial and<br />
recreational activities.<br />
<strong>Gannawarra</strong> <strong>Shire</strong> has a diverse range<br />
of agriculture within its borders.<br />
Agricultural activities include<br />
cropping, dairying, grazing,<br />
horticulture and viticulture.<br />
The economic base of the <strong>Shire</strong> is<br />
primarily agricultural, supported by<br />
important concentrations of<br />
manufacturing industries. The<br />
potential for new industries, such as<br />
large scale solar energy, is an exciting<br />
part of the future of the region.<br />
The Loddon River flows through the<br />
<strong>Shire</strong> and feeds into the Murray River.<br />
Both local people and visitors to our<br />
<strong>Shire</strong> enjoy our water wonderlands for<br />
fishing, bird watching and an exciting<br />
array of water sports.<br />
<strong>Gannawarra</strong> is an ideal place to live,<br />
work and to bring up a family. The<br />
combination of lifestyle, opportunity<br />
and affordable land, supported by<br />
services and a strong sense of<br />
community, make <strong>Gannawarra</strong> a place<br />
of first choice in our state and beyond.
