Welcome to Stanhope

With a population of 825, Stanhope sits on the Midland Highway between two major regional cities, Shepparton and Bendigo.
Stanhope is recognised as the LegenDairy Capital, thanks to the large dairy production farms in the area. It's also home to one of the largest milk processing factories in Victoria - Fonterra, a major producer of world class cheese and other dairy products.

We are a small town by population but we sure are a productive one!
With community ran events such as the Celebrate Stanhope Food and Wine Festival, our monthly Community Market and an abundance of community groups and sporting clubs, we really do have something for everyone!
