Mildura
22,082 km²
Mildura has evolved into a regional hub with a growing population and a distinct social landscape. It is a large community in Victoria's northwest that supports a significant First Nations population. While it serves as a central point for the region, the area remains more spread out than the state average. This balance of urban growth and rural scale defines its unique character.
