New in Chiltern? Start here
Everything a new arrival actually asks in the first month, answered from the 134 businesses, clubs and places we list here. No sponsored entries, nothing paid for.
First, the thing people get wrong
Chiltern kept its 1860s goldrush main street almost intact, which is why film crews keep turning up on Conness Street. Lake Anderson sits at the edge of town and the Chiltern Mount Pilot National Park surrounds it. Heritage building repairs, tourism accommodation and small farm work make up most local trade demand.
Chiltern is in Victoria, postcode 3683, and 6 of the towns people here use day to day are in New South Wales. That is why this matters more in Chiltern than it does most places: the state a job is done in decides which trade licence applies, which public holiday calendar sets the penalty rate, and which regulator hears a complaint.
If you are hiring anyone, the border check tells you which state's rules apply to an address, and the licence check opens the right register.
The shape of the place
Chiltern runs on Wodonga for anything it does not have itself, and the drive is about 25 kilometres. These are the facts that decide who you ring and where you go, rather than the ones a tourism page leads with.

What you will drive to Wodonga for
Nowhere this size has everything, and pretending otherwise wastes a trip. These are trades and services with nobody based in Chiltern, where the nearest choice is the 25km into Wodonga.
What is actually based in Chiltern
Not businesses that cover Chiltern from somewhere else — these have an address here. For a small town this is the part worth knowing, because it is the difference between a trade you can walk to and one you wait a week for.
What there is to do
Including the free ones, which is what you want in the first month before you know whether you are staying.
Where locals actually post what is on
Half of what happens in Chiltern never reaches a website. It goes on a council page or a community group and nowhere else. These 2 cover Chiltern , and every URL was read off the organisation's own site rather than guessed from its name.

Chiltern Memorial HallWhen something breaks
No trade is based in Chiltern itself, which is normal for somewhere this size. 130 cover it from nearby, and they are on the town page with the distance they travel.
The 130 businesses that cover Chiltern
Before you pay a deposit. Ask which licence they are working under
for your job and check it. It takes a minute on the
licence check, and on this border the
licence that counts is the one for the state the work is in, not the state the
business is registered in.
Moving to Chiltern
What state is Chiltern in?

Who do I call when something breaks?

Is this page a paid guide?
No. Nothing on it is sponsored, nobody paid to appear, and ordering comes from how complete a listing is rather than from money. It is assembled from the same data as the rest of the site.
