Trentham has been officially named Australia’s Top Tiny Tourism Town at the Australian Top Tourism Town Awards.
The Hepburn town claimed the title up against some formidable competition, including Robe (SA), Kalbarri (WA), Huskisson (NSW), Stanley (Tas) and Town of 1770 (Qld).
This national award comes after winning the 2025 Victoria Top Tourism Town in the Tiny Tourism Town category in July 2025.
Trentham won the gold award, while Huskisson took silver and Town of 1770 was awarded bronze.
Mayor, Cr Don Henderson, said the title was a remarkable achievement for Trentham and the region.
“We are incredibly proud and excited to see the benefits this will bring to our community and local businesses,” he said.
“Trentham stands out for its natural beauty, charm, community spirit and visitor appeal. This coveted national award is recognition of Trentham’s unique tourism offerings.”
Hepburn Shire Council worked closely with Destination Central Victoria (formerly Daylesford Macedon Tourism) on the application and promotional video.
