About Echuca Village

Echuca Village is a rural locality in northern Victoria, situated alongside the Murray River approximately 200 kilometres north of Melbourne. The locality covers around 40 square kilometres and recorded a population of 577 at the 2021 Census, residing across approximately 214 dwellings. The area has a long history tied to the paddle steamer era of the 19th century, when nearby Echuca was one of Australia’s most important inland river ports. Housing is predominantly low-density rural and residential, reflecting the unhurried pace of regional Victoria.

The locality benefits from its proximity to the historic Echuca township, which offers a vibrant main street, the Port of Echuca precinct, restaurants, galleries, and tourist attractions centred on the Murray River. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy access to the Murray River for boating, fishing, and water sports, while the surrounding countryside provides cycling tracks and nature trails. The region draws visitors year-round and has a close-knit community character typical of inland regional Victoria.

Echuca Village falls under postcode 3564 and is governed by the Campaspe Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Nicholls, while state elections fall under the Murray Plains (Northern Victoria) electorate.
