Welcome to
Moira Shire

Moira Shire offers a quality country lifestyle on the beautiful Murray River, with excellent value in housing, a clean environment and a Mediterranean climate. It all adds up to what we call the ‘Moira Advantage’.

Moira Shire is also the largest shire in Victoria’s north-east and boasts key agriculture, dairy, horticulture and viticulture industries as well as a strong tourism sector and a growing manufacturing sector.

Just a three-hour drive from Melbourne and close to the regional centres of Shepparton, Albury/Wodonga and Echuca/Moama, you’ll find Moira Shire is a vibrant and progressive place to live and work.
