Yarra is a vibrant and diverse place. It is the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri, and a place of special significance for the broader Aboriginal community.

Yarra is home to:

• a diverse group of LGBTIQA+ communities
• one in five of our residents are from non-English speaking backgrounds
• one in four speak a language other than English at home.

Yarra is also home to a high proportion of residents living with socio-economic disadvantage, in what is an otherwise relatively affluent municipality.

We also have an increasing number of older residents, despite a median age less than the state average.

Our diversity ensures Yarra is dynamic with a lively culture built on a rich history.
