About Kerrie
Kerrie is a small rural locality in the Macedon Ranges Shire, situated approximately 53 kilometres north-west of Melbourne. Covering nearly 20 square kilometres of gently undulating farmland and forested ridgelines, the locality had a 2021 Census population of 83 residents. The median household income for the postcode area sits above average for regional Victoria, reflecting a mix of established farming families and Melbourne commuters who have chosen the Macedon Ranges for its rural character and scenic beauty.
Kerrie is perhaps best known as the source of the Kerrie Valley water catchment, which supplies domestic water to the nearby town of Romsey via a dam on a tributary of Bolinda Creek. The locality features the heritage-listed Kerrie Town Hall (1934) and the former Kerrie State School building, which dates to around 1877 and operated as a community hub until its closure in 1991. Romsey, approximately 7 kilometres to the north-east, is the nearest town offering shops, schools, and everyday services, while Lancefield and Woodend provide additional regional facilities. The Macedon Ranges landscape of forests, farms, and scenic drives makes Kerrie a quietly attractive address for those seeking rural tranquillity within reach of Melbourne.
Kerrie falls under postcode 3434 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Macedon (Northern Victoria) electorate.
