About Morwell
Morwell is the industrial heart of Victoria's Latrobe Valley, a city of 14,400 residents built on power generation and brown coal mining 150 kilometres east of Melbourne. The transition away from coal has created both challenges and opportunities. The Princes Freeway and V/Line provide Melbourne access.
The city offers remarkably affordable housing—prices that seem impossible by Melbourne standards reflect economic transition. Facilities remain solid, and the community is resilient. Morwell attracts first-home buyers seeking extraordinary affordability, workers in remaining industries, and those betting on regional renewal.
Morwell falls under postcode 3840 and is governed by Latrobe Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Morwell (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
