Welcome to Indigo Shire Council

Indigo Shire, located in Victoria’s picturesque North East, is bordered by the Murray River and Australian Alps and is an area renowned for natural beauty and preserved historic character.  

The Shire welcomes thousands of visitors every year. Rutherglen is a world-famous wine region and Beechworth, Chiltern and Yackandandah are rich with history and legends. Visitors flock to the Shire to follow the trail of the Kelly gang at Beechworth’s magnificently preserved Historic Towns Cultural Precinct or in the hills and natural reserves. The entire Shire is a gourmet’s delight with fine local produce, award winning restaurants and wines.

Indigo Shire has a population of 15,238 and has more than 700 separate businesses with the economy based on farming, processing of primary produce and provision of services including tourism. 

Indigo Shire Council employs more than 130 staff with offices in Beechworth and Yackandandah, and customer service centres in Rutherglen and Chiltern.

Beechworth Wins National Tidy Towns Award 2009/2010

Congratulations to everyone involved in Beechworth taking out the Overall Award in the National Awards for Tidy Towns in Canberra recently. Iris Mannik, Anne Wilson and Jill Jarvis-Wills from Beechworth deserve particular praise for driving Beechworth's nomination through the State awards and to Canberra for the national awards. The Beechworth community figures prominently in winning awards and receiving grants because of the calibre of its volunteers, and this national award is further proof of that. I would also like to acknowledge the work of Indigo Shire Council's town teams, led by Jim Williamson, who put in an enormous amount of time sprucing up Beechworth prior to the visit by the national judges earlier this year. Beechworth also won the Dame Phyllis Frost Award for Litter Prevention, the Energy Innovation Award and was commended in the Heritage and Culture Award. As the Victorian State winner, Beechworth will host the State Awards ceremony for the 2010/11 awards in October. Congratulations again to all concerned. A well-deserved win.
