About Naringal
Naringal is a small rural locality in south-west Victoria, situated in the Moyne Shire approximately 200 kilometres west of Melbourne and around 40 kilometres north-east of Warrnambool. The 2021 Census recorded 124 residents across approximately 32 square kilometres, making it a sparsely settled agricultural community in the heart of the region's volcanic plains and dairy country. The postcode area's median household income reflects the working rural character of the surrounding region.
The locality is set within the productive dairy farming belt of south-west Victoria, where rolling green pastures and a cool, moist climate support year-round grazing. Residents rely on nearby towns for services, with Cobden to the east providing the nearest shopping and schools, and Warrnambool — a regional city of around 35,000 — offering a full range of retail, medical, and cultural facilities. The broader region is known for its rich volcanic soil agriculture, the Great Ocean Road coastline, and natural attractions including Tower Hill Wildlife Reserve.
Naringal falls under postcode 3277 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the South-West Coast (Western Victoria) electorate.
