Coburg

The local governance area encompasses residential neighborhoods, commercial districts, and recreational spaces across 51 square kilometers of Melbourne's northern metropolitan region.

European settlement began with Robert Hoddle's survey in 1837, leading to the establishment of 327 acres that would later develop into the current administrative region.

The area maintains strong connections to Aboriginal heritage through its name Merri-bek, which replaced the previous designation following community consultations in 2022.

The municipal council provides essential services including waste management, library facilities, and regular community meetings held on the second Wednesday of each month.

Residents can participate in the development of the 2025/26 budget by submitting community initiative proposals through the local government's structured planning process.
