Cranbourne

Cranbourne is a residential suburb in the Melbourne metropolitan area that spreads across multiple neighborhoods and commercial zones. The locality encompasses diverse land uses within the City of Casey, from housing to parks and services.

The region was originally home to the Bunurong people before European settlers established agricultural farms in the 1850s. The area gradually shifted from rural settlements to suburban development over the following decades.

The Botanical Gardens showcase native Australian plants through carefully designed plantings where visitors can explore the country's botanical diversity. The site serves as a gathering place where people experience a connection to the land's natural heritage.

The locality is well connected by public transport, with train services running to central Melbourne and bus routes serving neighboring areas. Visitors should check local schedules before planning trips to ensure smooth travel connections.

The area is defined by an urban growth boundary that protects the balance between new housing and agricultural land. This planning approach prevents sprawl and maintains green spaces for future generations.
