About Greenwald
Greenwald is a small rural locality in the South West region of Victoria, covering approximately 158 square kilometres approximately 350 kilometres south-west of Melbourne. With a 2021 Census population of 58 residents, it is a quiet farming community in the Glenelg Shire area near the South Australian border. The flat to undulating landscape is used primarily for sheep and beef cattle grazing, with remnant native vegetation typical of the western district.
The city of Mount Gambier, just across the South Australian border approximately 30 kilometres away, is the primary regional centre for Greenwald residents, providing comprehensive shopping, healthcare, and educational facilities. Portland, approximately 80 kilometres east, also provides access to coastal services and port facilities. A private vehicle is essential; there is no public transport. The border region's rural lifestyle, combined with access to the volcanic lakes and coastline of the South West, characterises life in Greenwald.
Greenwald falls under postcode 3304 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the South-West Coast (Western Victoria) electorate.
