City of Melton, Local government area in Victoria, Australia
The City of Melton extends across 528 square kilometers of land on the western outskirts of metropolitan Melbourne, featuring residential neighborhoods and green spaces.
The administrative region commenced operations in September 1862 as a district before receiving shire status in 1871 and later incorporating the Exford district in 1994.
The CS Gallery at Caroline Springs Library presents exhibitions of regional artists while supporting community art initiatives throughout the local government area.
Residents access municipal services through the Melton City Council, which manages waste collection, parks maintenance, and community facilities across three administrative wards.
The local newspaper made a lasting mark on Australian literature by publishing the first printed version of Click Go the Shears in 1891.
