About Kilmore
Kilmore is one of Victoria's oldest inland towns, located approximately 57 kilometres north of Melbourne's CBD in the Mitchell Shire on the southern slopes of the Great Dividing Range at 368 metres elevation. With a population of around 9,207 and a median age of 40, the town has grown steadily as a commuter base for Melbourne, attracting families drawn by its affordability relative to the capital — median household income sits at around 0,500 per year, with median rents of 40 per week. The community has deep Irish Catholic roots, reflected in its very name, and a strong mix of established residents and newer arrivals.
Kilmore sits directly on the Hume Highway corridor, giving residents convenient access to Melbourne and regional Victoria, and a train service operates from nearby Wandong on the Seymour line. The town has a well-equipped main street with local shops, cafes, and professional services, along with both Catholic and government primary and secondary schools. Historic bluestone buildings and a racecourse lend Kilmore a heritage character, while its semi-rural surrounds, community spirit, and relatively affordable housing continue to attract families and tree-changers looking for a manageable commute with a country feel.
Kilmore falls under postcode 3764 and is governed by Mitchell Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Euroa (Northern Victoria) electorate.
