Mildura (/mɪlˈdjʊərə/mill-DEW-rə) is a regional city in north-west Victoria, Australia. Located on the Victorian side of the Murray River, Mildura had a population of 34,565 in 2021.[1] When nearby Wentworth, Irymple, Nichols Point, Merbein and Red Cliffs are included, the combined urban area had a population of 58,914 in 2021,[2][3] having grown marginally at an average annual rate of 1.3% year-on-year over the preceding five years.[4][5]
Mildura is the largest settlement in the Sunraysia region, where around 90% of Australia's table grape exports are grown.[6] Likewise, it is a major horticultural centre notable for its overall (table, sultana and wine) grape production, supplying about 80% of Victoria's grapes.[7] Many wineries also source grapes from Mildura.[8] It is very close to the New South Wales border, the Murray River, from which it draws an abundant supply of irrigation water. It is known as Australia's first 'irrigation colony'.[9]
The city's central business district is located just a short distance from the banks of the Murray. Langtree Avenue is the main shopping and dining precinct in Mildura, with the middle section of the street a pedestrian mall. The other major retail precinct is along Fifteenth Street in the Mildura South area, where a mid-sized undercover shopping mall and several big box stores are located.[10] The city's name was taken from the Mildura homestead, an early sheep station which covered most of the area.[11] The urban area of Mildura is surrounded by irrigated horticulture, where the original grape and citrus blocks were located with water irrigated from the Murray River.[12]
