Kyabram is the Campaspe Shire dairy industry regional centre — about 200 kilometres north of Melbourne. The town serves as the commercial and processing hub for the surrounding Goulburn-Murray Irrigation District dairy farms, and the Section 32 framework reflects substantial Goulburn-Murray Water (G-MW) channel easements, dairy industry Section 173 Agreements on agricultural lots, and heritage commercial precinct.
