Newborough is a suburb of Moe, in the Latrobe Valley in Victoria, Australia. It can be divided into three areas, Old Newborough, East Newborough and North Newborough. It has a higher than average proportion of retirees and aged residents, and it has been suggested that Newborough owes its generally quiet character to this fact. At the 2006 census, Newborough had a population of 6584.
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.[2]
Newborough is serviced by the Princes Freeway and is within a few kilometres of the Yallourn Power Station and the township of Yallourn North
Large sporting events are held locally at the Sports and Recreational Centre on Old Sale Road.
