City of Whittlesea

The City of Whittlesea is an administrative division in the northern suburbs of Melbourne that mixes residential areas with rural land. It encompasses modern neighbourhoods alongside agricultural zones and is home to about 230,000 people.

The area started as Whittlesea Roads District in 1862 and was later combined with other administrative areas. These mergers shaped how the region is organised today.

The region is home to people from many different countries who bring their own celebrations and traditions to the community. This diversity shapes daily life and appears in local shops, restaurants, and neighbourhood events.

The area offers public services, parks, and schools that are well distributed across the region for easy access. Visit during local markets or community events to experience how residents use these shared spaces.

Working farms still operate within the region, maintaining traditional agriculture despite surrounding suburban growth. This blend of farmland and residential development makes it an unusual space that sits between city and countryside.
