Hazeldene is a town in central Victoria, Australia. The town is located 102 kilometres (63 mi) north of the state capital, Melbourne. At the 2006 census, Hazeldene had a population of 535.[1]
The town was affected by the Black Saturday bushfires, with over 200 houses being destroyed and over ten deaths recorded as occurring in Hazeldene.[2] The General Store and Post Office were spared, but the Jarara Community Centre was destroyed in the bushfires.
In the 2009-2010 Budget, Murrindindi Shire Council indicated that the Jarara Community Centre would be rebuilt, but due to the high fire danger associated with the site, in Silver Creek Road, where it had been located, Council would be rebuilding it elsewhere within Hazeldene[3][4].
