About Warragul

Warragul has a thriving food and wine scene, with a focus on paddock to plate. Visit the lively Warragul Farmer's Market, spread across Civic Park every month, for an abundance of local produce to take home or devour on the day. Drop into Stella's Pantry for decadent cheeses and deli goods or pick up excellent wine at Press Cellars. Tuck into inventive eats and coffee at one of Warragul’s hip cafes and bakeries, or at The Courthouse, which also serves dinner. Venture further afield to the celebrated Hogget Kitchen at Wild Dog Winery for boutique wines and a menu showcasing fine local produce.

While you may be living the relaxed country lifestyle, there is always plenty to do to keep you and the family entertained. You will find lots of entertainment venues including Lardner Park, one of Australia’s premier regional exhibition venues and home to Farm World, lifestyle events, and music festivals. There is also the West Gippsland Arts Centre to experience a little culture, a bowling alley and cinema, the Warragul Racetrack, surrounding national parks, a local golf course and sporting clubs, the Warragul Leisure Centre, and numerous galleries and studios dotted around the nearby area.

Warragul is a great place for education at all levels. Led by the highly rated St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School, a private school with over 1,400 students, as well as Warragul Regional College, Ellingbank Primary School, and Warragul North Primary School for younger students. There are a host of other primary and secondary school choices in the area, as well as the Tafe Warragul Campus for tertiary studies.

Warragul residents can see an exciting future, sitting right in the heart of the Southeastern growth corridor, which is experiencing significant growth. As a major town of the corridor, it is set to grow and attract services and emerge as the regional centre for the western part of Gippsland. As part of the Government’s Warragul Structure Precinct Plan, the town will benefit from many initiatives in the area including 18 kilometres of new pedestrian and cycle paths, 80 hectares of new open space and parklands, two new shopping centres, four new schools and three new community centres with expanded business and industrial areas to increase the number of local jobs.
