  • 21.01 MUNICIPAL PROFILE 21.01-1 Location and Features the Shire Of
    HINDMARSH PLANNING SCHEME 21.01 MUNICIPAL PROFILE 19/01/2006 VC37 21.01-1 Location and Features 19/01/2006 VC37 The Shire of Hindmarsh is located in the Wimmera and Mallee regions in Western Victoria, a prime grain growing and agriculture area. The Shire is bordered by West Wimmera Shire to the west and south, the Rural City of Horsham to the south, Yarriambiack Shire to the east and the Rural City of Mildura to the north. Occupying an area of approximately 7,422 square kilometres, the Shire of Hindmarsh is one of the largest municipalities in Victoria. Despite its size however, the Shire has a small and decreasing population (7,088 persons ERP, 1996 ABS). A snap shot of the Shire is also illustrated in Figure 1. The Shire was formed in January 1995 by the municipal amalgamation of the former Shires of Dimboola and Lowan. The administrative headquarters are located at Nhill which is located on both the Western Highway and National Rail line approximately half way between Melbourne and Adelaide. Customer service offices are also located in Dimboola, Rainbow and Jeparit. In 1998 the Shire had a rate revenue of about $2.4 million, assets to the value of some $22 million and a total expenditure of $7.5 million. The Shire is predominantly rural based with a focus on a wide range of cereal, legume and oil seed cropping, with some wool production and grazing. While landholders diversify their operations, Council believes there are opportunities for further development within the municipality. The agricultural areas are bounded to the north by the Wyperfeld and Big Desert National Parks, and to the south by the Little Desert National Park.
