City of Whittlesea

Welcome to the vibrant City of Whittlesea, nestled in the northern heart of Melbourne. We’re not just a municipality; we’re a cool mix of urban and rural awesomeness, covering about 489 square kilometres. And guess what? Our rural side adds that extra touch of charm, with over 60% being rural or non-urban land.

Picture this: we’re like the cool kid in town, rubbing shoulders with Hume, Murrindindi, Nillumbik, and Mitchell Shires to the West and North, and throwing high-fives to Darebin and Banyule in the South. Perfect for scenic drives, bushwalks in Plenty Gorge Parklands, or acing a round of golf at Growling Frog Golf Course. And kiddos? Funfields Theme Park is the ultimate playground!

Now, let’s talk about our playground for grown-ups. We have manufacturing, healthcare, and retail, spiced up with a dash of hospitality and tourism. We’re the ultimate escape for visitors, offering a smorgasbord of attractions, activities, shopping, dining, and more.

When it comes to food, we’re not playing around! That’s Amore Cheese, Bertocchi Smallgoods, Floridia Cheese, and friends are like the culinary rockstars here. And don’t even get me started on our eateries – Farm Vigano for classy Italian with a view, Five Vineyard, the hip new winery in Mernda, and Bluestone Café in Wollert – because who doesn’t love good food with a side of scenery?

And shopping? Westfield Plenty Valley boasts Base, De Gani, Kinn Thai, Sporting Globe, Martini & Co, Grilled, and more. Pacific Epping Plaza? Groove Train, Saluti, La Famiglia, TGI Fridays, and a bunch of others are ready to tantalize your taste buds.

Nature lovers, we’ve got your back! Parks like Plenty Gorge, Quarry Hills, Yan Yean Reservoir, and Kinglake National Park (right on our doorstep) are perfect for a nature fix. The Blue Lake in Plenty Gorge Parklands is a hidden gem, so don’t miss out!

Now, let’s zoom around! Hundreds of kilometres of pathways crisscross our municipality, so you can strut your stuff on foot or wheels without breaking a sweat.

And oh, the town of Whittlesea – it’s not just a town; it’s a vibe. Nestled at the base of the Kinglake Ranges, it hosts the Whittlesea Country Music Festival every February and has thrown an epic show every November since 1859.

So, whether you’re up for a scenic drive, a gourmet feast, or a stroll in our parks, the City of Whittlesea is your go-to place for fun and adventure. Come on, join the excitement.
