About Waranga Shores
Waranga Shores is a sparsely settled rural locality in central Victoria, situated within the Campaspe Shire approximately 144 kilometres north of Melbourne and around 24 kilometres from Kyabram. With a population of 314 spread across an extensive 117 square kilometres, the locality takes its name from the Waranga Basin — a major water storage reservoir that forms the centrepiece of the surrounding landscape. The below-average median income reflects the modest rural demographic of this agricultural and lake-adjacent community.
The Waranga Basin is the defining feature of the locality, attracting recreational visitors for fishing, camping, boating, water skiing, and birdwatching along its shores. Scattered farming properties and bush camping sites frame the lake's edge, making Waranga Shores a popular destination for weekenders and nature lovers from across the region. Day-to-day services are accessed in the nearby towns of Kyabram and Rushworth, while the locality itself retains a quiet, unhurried atmosphere suited to those who value open space and lakeside living.
Waranga Shores falls under postcode 3612 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Euroa (Northern Victoria) electorate.
