Explore by Councils

Across Victoria’s 79 councils, every city, shire and rural region offers its own mix of landscapes, culture, history and local experiences. Instead of generic travel lists, Local Vic brings together handpicked destinations, trails and local highlights under each council which makes it special.

Choose a council that sparks your curiosity, and you’ll discover destinations locals love, experiences shaped by community, and places rarely featured in commercial travel guides. From council-backed walking trails to heritage pockets and local producers, everything is curated to help you experience Victoria more deeply; one council at a time.
