About Benloch
Benloch is a small rural locality in central Victoria, situated in the Macedon Ranges region within the Northern Victoria state electorate and the federal Division of Nicholls. With a 2021 Census population of 138 residents spread across approximately 21.6 square kilometres, Benloch is a quiet farming community characterised by open paddocks, native bushland patches, and traditional agricultural land use. The area lies roughly between Kyneton to the south and Romsey to the east, in a gently undulating rural landscape typical of the central Victorian highlands fringe.
Benloch offers a peaceful lifestyle for those who value wide open spaces and the character of regional Victoria, within accessible distance of the services and amenities of Kyneton and the Macedon Ranges township network. The broader region is well regarded for its cool-climate wine producers, heritage gold rush towns, and outdoor recreation including hiking in Macedon Regional Park. While Benloch itself has no commercial services, the area is convenient to Kyneton's thriving main street cafe and restaurant scene, and sits along the Calder Highway corridor offering reasonable freeway access towards Melbourne.
Benloch falls under postcode 3435 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Macedon (Northern Victoria) electorate.
