Question 1

Is Mount Egerton a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Mount Egerton is a small rural township centred on a modest hill, with timber cottages, weatherboard homes and larger rural properties set among paddocks and native bush. The community of 706 people has a median age of 43 and households are overwhelmingly owner-occupied, with families making up the bulk of households. Residents tend to be people seeking a country lifestyle, hobby farmers and commuters who travel to neighbouring regional centres for work and services, and local shops and major services are accessed outside the township.

Everyday community life is anchored by Mount Egerton Primary School, which is introducing an Early Explorers pre-prep program, and the Mount Egerton Recreation Reserve with oval, netball and tennis facilities that have recently received restoration grants. Moorabool Shire Council’s Small Township Enhancement Program also proposes gateway and wayfinding signage, landscaping and improved pathways and a new war memorial. Whether Mount Egerton suits you comes down to how much you value a rural, family-weighted, owner-occupied place and your willingness to travel for some services.
