The City of Darebin extends across 54 square kilometers between Merri Creek and Darebin Creek, incorporating residential, industrial, and retail zones within Melbourne's northern suburbs.

In 1994, the City of Darebin emerged through the consolidation of Northcote and Preston municipalities, along with portions from Coburg, Heidelberg, and Diamond Valley.

The population of 161,609 residents includes more than 35 percent of people born overseas, with substantial communities from Italy, Greece, India, and China.

Municipal operations are conducted from the administrative center at 350 High Street in Preston, where residents can access various council services and submit community feedback.

The local government structure divides the territory into nine single-member wards, generating an annual economic output of 5.23 billion Australian dollars through 11,575 businesses.
