3701 · Towong · 5 residents
Shelley is a former town on the Cudgewa railway line in Northeast Victoria. It was home to the highest railway station in Victoria, at 781 metres (2,562 ft) above sea level. Shelley is a small locality — too few residents for its own AusScore, so it takes the overall grade of Towong council. It still has minimal public transport and 5 school zones.
Recorded offences per 1,000 residents, graded against the Victorian median. Lower is safer.
Grades use a 3-year averagerate, so one unusually quiet or busy year can't swing the result. With only 5 residents here, a handful of incidents still moves the rate a lot — read these with that in mind.
Offences per 1,000 residents over the last decade, against the Victorian median. A line below the dashed median means this suburb is safer than the typical Victorian suburb.
Over the past decade, property & deception offences — the bulk of recorded crime — climbed from 0 to 200 per 1,000 residents in Shelley (down from a 200 peak in 2017). That leaves it 604% above the typical Victorian suburb — a genuine concern for residents and local businesses. The picture is mixed across the three measures.
