Pure Living - Towong Shire "The Ideal Place to Live"

Towong Shire is experiencing increased residential transfers to our Shire which may be explained by the quality and relaxed lifestyle on offer.

Tallangatta is located on picturesque Lake Hume, a 30 minute leisurely drive from Albury/Wodonga making it an ideal commuter township for those who choose to work in Albury/Wodonga. Housing prices are competitive ranging from $150,000 to $400,000 to accommodate those looking for a quality lifestyle option.

Land is also currently being developed on the Bellbridge Peninsula tarketing professional business people and young families seeking the best of the city and country lifestyle. Bellbridge is located 15 minutes from the city of Albury and the Albury Airport.

There are many towns and valleys offering quality lifestyle options and interested persons are encouraged to obtain a free 'Lifetyle Package' by contacting Towong Shire Council.

Young families have the choice of excellent schooling options including both State and Private Schools. Most schools have expereinced an increase in enrolment figures due to the rural and social opportunities available to residents and their families across the Shire.

Over the past 3 years new businesses have emerged including a wine bar, restuarant, themed 50's Cafe, takeaway shops, several B&Bs and an engineering and storage facility. Council continues to support the growth of economic and tourism development across the Shire with Tourism recently evaluated at $1.6m pa to the local economy.

Council is currently supporting the development of the High Country Rail Trail to further encourage Tourism growth in the region. The trail starts at Wodonga and meanders along the picturesque shores of Lake Hume through the township of Tallangatta, onto to the historic Old Tallangatta Township. The Winnawoo Tearooms and Guesthouse at Old Tallangatta is a perfect place to end your walk or ride.

Both the townships of Corryong and Tallangatta offer equitable ADSL broadband internet services to support education, improved communications and business growth opportunities.

Towong Shire is the ideal place to live!
