Ouyen Inc is a volunteer community organisation first formed in 1997 after the local council amalgamation process saw Ouyen become part of the Mildura Rural City Council.

Ouyen Inc. aims to:

To provide opportunities for all Ouyen residents and visitors.
To encourage economic and social growth for Ouyen's future.
To provide an enviable lifestyle in Ouyen.
To provide representation for the Ouyen Community to Local Government (Mildura Rural City

Council) and other regulatory bodies.
To encourage visitors through the integrated development of tourism possibilities and special

events
To create incentives for community leadership and cohesion
To preserve and promote local heritage and environmental assets.

You do not need to be a business owner to contribute and join!

Joining Ouyen Inc. or other local community groups is a great way to meet new friends, and to really appreciate the charming culture of camaraderie that we cherish in Ouyen.
