Overview

Mansfield sits in the foothills of the Victorian Alps, about 180 km north‑east of Melbourne, and recorded a population of 5,541 at the 2021 Census. Once a farming and logging hub, the town now thrives as a tourist gateway to the nearby Mount Buller ski resort and the large lakes of Eildon and Nillahcootie, offering year‑round activities such as skiing, mountain biking, waterskiing, horse riding and trail riding. The Great Victorian Rail Trail starts here, attracting cyclists and walkers, while the historic railway station has been repurposed as a visitor centre.

Residents enjoy a full suite of local services within walking distance: Mansfield Primary School, Mansfield Secondary College, a post office, police station and heritage court house, plus hospitality options including Alzburg Resort, a motel and other hotels. The mix of permanent homes and holiday‑accommodation reflects the town’s blend of community living and seasonal tourism, all supported by reliable road links to Melbourne and surrounding regions.
