Melton City Council

The City of Melton is one of the fastest growing municipalities in Australia, offering the best in urban and rural lifestyles within a comfortable commuting distance from Melbourne.

Encompassing a total land area of 527 square kilometres, it includes the main urban centre of Melton, the growing western suburban spread of Melbourne in the Caroline Springs/Hillside area and several smaller townships, including Diggers Rest, Rockbank and Toolern Vale.

The population of the City of Melton has an annual growth of 4.3%. Projections indicate that this will rise, meaning that by 2036 it will be almost the size of Canberra today.
