Geography

The locality is bounded to the west by the Drummond Range. [2]

There are a number of named peaks in the locality (from north to south):

The Carbine State Forest is in the north of the locality. Apart from that protected area, the land use is predominantly grazing on native vegetation in most of the locality, but in the southern more mountainous part of the locality, there is no active land use. [2]

History

On 17 May 2019, it was decided to discontinue the locality of Mistake Creek and absorb its land into the neighbouring localities of Clermont, Laglan, Frankfield and Peak Vale and to extend Peak Vale into the Central Highlands Region by altering the boundaries of Argyll. [9] [10] [11] [2]

Demographics

In the 2016 census, Peak Vale had a population of 39 people. [1]

In the 2021 census, the population of Peak Vale was not separately reported, but included within the reporting of the population of neighbouring Clermont and Alpha. [12] [13]

Education

There are no schools in Peak Vale. Students living in the north of Peak Vale would be able to attend Clermont State School and Clermont State High School in neighbouring Clermont to the north. However, those schools would be too distant for a daily commute for students living in the southern parts of the locality. The other options are distance education and boarding school. [14]
