About Humevale

Humevale is a small rural locality situated approximately 55 kilometres north of Melbourne CBD in the foothills country of the Yan Yean region, within the McEwen federal electorate. Covering around 36 square kilometres, the locality had a 2021 Census population of 352 residents with a median income of approximately $49,000. Humevale occupies gently undulating terrain between Melbourne's outer northern suburbs and the forested ranges that include the Kinglake National Park corridor, giving it a genuinely semi-rural feel.

The locality is characterised by hobby farms, acreage properties, and rural residential blocks set among eucalypt bush and cleared pasture — popular with Melburnians seeking space, privacy, and a quieter pace of life without straying too far from the city. Residents typically travel to Whittlesea or Wallan for shops, schools, and services, with the Hume Freeway providing reasonable access to Melbourne's northern suburbs for commuters. Humevale appeals to those drawn to the landscape and community spirit of Melbourne's semi-rural fringe, where larger blocks and open skies come with the trade-off of longer drives.

Humevale falls under postcode 3757 and is governed by the Whittlesea Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of McEwen, while state elections fall under the Yan Yean (Northern Victoria) electorate.
