About Korobeit

Korobeit is a small rural locality in the Moorabool Shire in central Victoria, situated approximately 55 kilometres west of Melbourne and around 10 kilometres north-east of Bacchus Marsh. The locality covers 14.5 square kilometres of farming and grazing land in a gently undulating landscape between the Lerderderg and Werribee river catchments. With a 2021 Census population of just 75 residents, Korobeit is a tightly-knit farming community with a predominantly agricultural character and very low residential density.

The area is defined by its rural farming lifestyle, with cattle grazing and broad-acre cropping the dominant land uses across the locality. Residents rely on Bacchus Marsh for supermarkets, schools, medical services, and most everyday needs. There is no public transport serving Korobeit directly, and a private vehicle is essential for daily life. The locality sits within the broader Moorabool Shire, which encompasses a number of similarly quiet rural communities in the ranges west of Melbourne.

Korobeit falls under postcode 3341 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Macedon (Northern Victoria) electorate.
