Does your area replace Melbourne Cup Day?
Search a council, town or listed postcode to check the 2026 non-metropolitan public holiday declarations currently published by Business Victoria.
Tip: Melbourne Cup Day applies across Victoria unless an approved alternative local public holiday has been arranged by a non-metropolitan council.
Why Victoria needs a regional holiday finder
Melbourne Cup Day is the default public holiday across Victoria, but approved alternatives can apply in non-metropolitan council areas. Some declarations cover an entire municipality; others apply only to selected districts, towns or postcodes.
What the finder currently covers
The finder uses the 2026 Business Victoria non-metropolitan public holiday list. Regional declarations are published progressively, so the official source and the relevant council remain the final check for employment or trading decisions.
