The Events Capital of Australia

Victoria is well regarded as the event capital of Australia, and Murrindindi is well placed on Melbourne’s doorstep to make the most of the event sector.

Ultimately, we know that the more people who visit our region to attend an event, the more our local businesses and community will thrive. We're committed to creating memorable experiences that leave a lasting impression, and inspire visitors to return again and again.
