Overview

The Patch is a small township 39 km east of Melbourne’s CBD in the Shire of Yarra Ranges, with a population of 1,046 recorded at the 2021 census. Originally settled in the 1860s and shaped by a brief gold‑rush and 1890s farming selections, it retains a quiet, scenic atmosphere that appeals to families and nature lovers. Its rural‑residential character is complemented by nearby natural areas such as the Sassafras Creek Nature Conservation Reserve.

Local amenities include a community hall, a general store/post office, a primary school, several commercial nurseries and a tennis court, with most dwellings set on larger residential blocks. The suburb is a short drive to Monbulk’s police station, post office and primary school, and, despite limited public‑transport details, offers easy road access to Melbourne. Proximity to the Aquila Nova Resort and the historic Monbulk Jams legacy adds modest commercial and heritage interest.
