About Millgrove
Millgrove is a small urban locality in Victoria's Upper Yarra Valley, situated approximately 70 kilometres east of Melbourne's CBD within the Yarra Ranges Shire. Perched at an elevation of 230 metres in the foothills east of the Dandenong Ranges, Millgrove sits alongside the upper reaches of the Yarra River near the township of Warburton. The 2021 Census recorded a population of 1,666, with a median age of 40 and a median weekly household income of $1,201, reflecting a modest, working-class and mixed community that includes young families, retirees, and long-term valley residents.
Millgrove is embedded in the scenic Yarra Valley, with the natural environment as its centrepiece — the river corridor, rainforest gullies, and bushwalking tracks of the Warburton Trail draw visitors and residents alike. The neighbouring town of Warburton provides the locality's primary services, including shops, a medical centre, and primary schooling. The Upper Yarra Valley region is known for its arts community, mountain cycling trails, and proximity to Healesville Sanctuary and the Yarra Valley wine region. Despite its natural appeal, Millgrove is car-dependent, with no direct rail service and daily commutes to Melbourne taking well over an hour.
Millgrove falls under postcode 3799 and is governed by the Yarra Ranges Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Casey, while state elections fall under the Eildon (Northern Victoria) electorate.
