About Yuroke
Yuroke is a small rural locality in Melbourne's north, situated 26 kilometres north-west of the CBD within the City of Hume. Located just beyond Melbourne's Urban Growth Boundary on Mickleham Road, it sits between the suburbs of Mickleham and Greenvale at an elevation of around 240 metres. With a population of just 123 at the 2021 census, Yuroke retains a quiet semi-rural character amid the rapid urban expansion of Melbourne's northern corridor. Its name is derived from an Indigenous word, believed to relate to the iguana.
Yuroke appeals to those seeking a rural lifestyle within reasonable reach of Melbourne's outer northern suburbs. The area is predominantly open farmland and semi-rural acreage, offering space and tranquillity away from suburban density. Nearby Craigieburn, just 6 kilometres to the east, provides access to shops, schools, and services, while the Hume Freeway provides a direct link to central Melbourne. The locality suits small hobby farmers, equestrian enthusiasts, and those who value peace and open space.
Yuroke falls under postcode 3063 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Sunbury (Western Metropolitan) electorate.
