The Shire of Yarra Ranges, also known as Yarra Ranges Council, is a local government area in Victoria, Australia, located in the outer eastern and northeastern suburbs of Melbourne extending into the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges. It has an area of 2,468 square kilometres (953 sq mi),[1] of which 3% is classified as urban.[2] In June 2018, it had a population of 158,173.[1]

It was formed in 1994 by the merger of parts of the Shire of Sherbrooke, Shire of Lillydale, Shire of Healesville and Shire of Upper Yarra.[3]

History

Prior to European settlement, the land within and beyond the Yarra Ranges was occupied by the Wurundjeri people.[4]

European settlement was established from the 1830s with settlers engaging in agriculture and gold mining activities.[4]

Council

Yarra Ranges is divided into nine wards, each of which elects one councillor for a period of four years.[3] The next election will take place during October 2020.
