About Tresco
Tresco is a small rural locality in north-west Victoria, within the Rural City of Swan Hill local government area, located approximately 23 kilometres south of Swan Hill and 317 kilometres from Melbourne. With a population of around 162 residents, the locality takes its name from Tresco in the Isles of Scilly, England, reflecting the area's early British settler heritage. Tresco sits in the heart of the Murray–Mallee irrigation district, where flat agricultural land stretches in every direction and the region's farming traditions have shaped the community for generations.
The Tresco area is an irrigation farming locality, with horticulture, grain growing, and mixed agriculture central to the local economy. Most everyday services, shopping, and schooling are accessed in Swan Hill, the regional centre, which lies just 23 kilometres to the north along the Murray Valley. Lake Boga — a popular lake known for water sports and the RAAF No. 1 flying boat base heritage — is located nearby, offering residents leisure options. Tresco itself is a peaceful, low-key community that retains a strong connection to the land and the rhythms of rural life in the Victorian Mallee.
Tresco falls under postcode 3583 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Murray Plains (Northern Victoria) electorate.
