About Coomoora
Coomoora is a small rural locality in central Victoria, situated within the Hepburn Shire local government area in the scenic highlands between Trentham and Daylesford. Covering approximately 8.6 square kilometres, the locality lies approximately 100 kilometres north-west of Melbourne CBD, nestled among the rolling hills and forests characteristic of Victoria's spa country. The 2021 Census recorded a population of 308 residents — up 22 per cent from 252 in 2016 — reflecting the growing appeal of the Daylesford–Trentham region as a lifestyle and tree-change destination.
Coomoora is a quiet, predominantly residential locality set among farmland and forested hills that form part of the Hepburn Shire's beloved hinterland. The nearby town of Daylesford — widely regarded as Australia's spa and wellness capital — provides a rich array of cafés, restaurants, boutique galleries, and the iconic Hepburn Bathhouse & Spa, all within a short drive. Trentham to the north-east offers further village character with a bakery, arts spaces, and access to the Wombat State Forest, making Coomoora an appealing base for remote workers, retirees, and Melburnians seeking a peaceful tree change.
Coomoora falls under postcode 3461 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Macedon (Northern Victoria) electorate.
