Newborough is a town in the Latrobe Valley in
Victoria, Australia which shares a border to its
west, mostly along the Narracan Creek, with
the town of Moe. It can be divided into three
areas, Old Newborough, East Newborough and
North Newborough. The latter two areas were
developed by the State Electricity Commission
of Victoria in the 1950s as residential housing
for workers at the nearby Yallourn coal mining,
power generation and briquette making works.
Newborough now has a higher than average
proportion of retirees and aged residents, and it
has been suggested that it owes its generally
quiet character to this fact. At the 2011 census,
Newborough had a population of 6,933.

The town is also home to a vibrant artist
community, perhaps drawn by the picturesque
Gippsland area and the quiet country lifestyle
the town offers. Many artists and crafts partisans
have set up small businesses.

Newborough is serviced by the Princes Freeway
and is within a few kilometres of the Yallourn
Power Station and the township of Yallourn
North.
