Overview

Woodend is a thriving town of 6,732 residents (2021 Census) perched in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range, roughly halfway between Melbourne and Bendigo. Its lifestyle is shaped by easy access to natural attractions such as Mount Macedon, Hanging Rock, and local waterfalls, while seasonal snow adds a rare alpine feel. Community spirit shines through events like the Woodend Winter Arts Festival, the Melbourne Autumn Day bike ride, and a vibrant junior football club that draws over 190 players from 130 families. Families and visitors alike enjoy the centrally‑located Woodend Children’s Park, the historic St Mary’s Anglican Church, golf and tennis facilities, and a network of mountain‑bike tracks maintained by the Wombat MTB Club.

Convenient amenities include a post office, police station and the historic Woodend Court House‑building within walking distance of the town centre. The Calder Freeway (M79) bypasses the town to the east and north, and Woodend railway station provides regular services, linking residents to Melbourne, Bendigo and the broader region. This mix of transport options and local services supports a diverse range of housing, from period homes to newer dwellings, appealing to families, retirees and commuters alike.
