About Nutfield

Nutfield is a small semi-rural locality in the Shire of Nillumbik, located approximately 30 kilometres north-east of Melbourne's CBD on the city's outer fringe. Covering around 7 square kilometres, the locality has a population of approximately 158 residents and retains a quiet, acreage character typical of the Nillumbik green wedge zone.

The Shire of Nillumbik is known for protecting green wedge land from urban sprawl, meaning Nutfield is likely to retain its semi-rural character for the foreseeable future.
