23General Information about Latrobe Shire

Latrobe City is centrally located in eastern Victoria approximately two hours drive

to the east of Melbourne along the dual carriageway of the Princes Highway.

The city has four major centres located at Moe, Morwell, Traralgon and Churchill

as well as a number of smaller outlying townships. Latrobe City encompasses

an area of some 1,422 square kilometres and takes its name from the Adminis-trator and later Lieutenant Governor of the Colony of Victoria, Charles Joseph

La Trobe. Following statewide amalgamation of local government in 1994, the

former Latrobe Shire Council was created from six former municipalities in the

central Latrobe Valley area. With a population of over 75,000 the municipality

ranks as the third largest in regional Victoria after Ballarat and Bendigo. In April

2000 the Victorian Government accorded the municipality city status, and the

municipality is now recognised as Latrobe City. The municipality is an area of

contrasts with diverse environments ranging from the rich agricultural river flatsto the rugged, yet picturesque temperate rain forested slopes of the Strzelecki

Ranges. Underlying the river flats are vast deposits of brown coal, in some cases

only a few metres from the surface. The area generates 85 per cent of Victoria's

electricity requirements. The dairy and beef cattle industries contribute signifi-

cantly to Victoria's agricultural standing.
