About Tatura
Tatura is a regional town and urban locality situated in the Goulburn Valley of northern Victoria, approximately 25 kilometres west of Shepparton within the Greater Shepparton City Council area. Set on the fertile plains at an elevation of 113 metres, Tatura covers a broad area of over 123 square kilometres of surrounding rural land. The town had a population of 4,955 at the 2021 Census, with a median age of 44 and a median household income of $1,357 per week, reflecting its character as an established regional centre with a mature, settled community.
Tatura has a rich agricultural heritage at the heart of Victoria's dairy and food processing region, and the town retains a strong community character built around farming, local industry, and long-established families. The ancestry mix — predominantly Australian and English with a notable Italian and Dutch presence — reflects the post-war migration that shaped much of the Goulburn Valley. Residents enjoy the relaxed pace of country life with access to local schools, community facilities, and the broader services of nearby Shepparton.
Tatura falls under postcode 3616 and is governed by Greater Shepparton Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Euroa (Northern Victoria) electorate.
