About Piedmont
Piedmont is a tiny rural locality in West Gippsland, Victoria, situated in the hinterland north of Warragul within the Baw Baw Shire area and the Narracan state electorate. Sharing postcode 3833 with the broader Noojee–Neerim district, the locality covers 5.5 square kilometres of rolling upland farmland and recorded a population of just 52 at the 2021 census. The area sits in the foothills country between the Latrobe Valley and the Great Dividing Range, characterised by cool-temperate climate, lush green pastures and mixed farming enterprises including dairy and beef cattle. The locality's elevated position and scenic rural landscape give it a distinctly peaceful character.
Piedmont's residents enjoy a quiet rural lifestyle supported by the nearby hinterland towns of Neerim South and Noojee, which offer basic services, and the larger town of Warragul (approximately 30–35 kilometres south) which provides schools, supermarkets, hospitals and rail connections to Melbourne. The surrounding Baw Baw region is renowned for its natural attractions, including the Baw Baw National Park, Noojee Trestle Bridge (a heritage timber rail viaduct), and the Thomson River system popular for trout fishing and bushwalking. The area attracts farming families and lifestyle-seekers drawn to affordable rural land and stunning scenery within two hours of Melbourne.
Piedmont falls under postcode 3833 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Narracan (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
