Welcome to Latrobe City Council

Latrobe City is made up of four major urban centres: Churchill, Moe/Newborough, Morwell and Traralgon, with smaller townships of Boolarra, Glengarry, Toongabbie, Tyers, Traralgon South, Yallourn North, and Yinnar.

Latrobe City is less than two hours drive from Melbourne and boasts all the recreational and cultural facilities of a large diverse regional centre including the Latrobe Regional Gallery and Latrobe Performing Arts Centre with the added benefit of being nestled amongst some of the best tourist attractions in the state, such as the Morwell National Park, Hazelwood Pondage, Lake Narracan, Powerworks Museum, Victory Park and Moe Botanical gardens.

With a population of over 71,000, the beautiful and highly productive Latrobe Valley is located at the gateway to Gippsland in the South East corner of the state of Victoria. Only 70 minutes from the outskirts of Melbourne, it's surprising, it's diverse and it's substantial. Latrobe really is a new energy in regional Australia. Read more >
