About Derrimut
Derrimut is a western Melbourne suburb in Brimbank, about 17 km from the CBD, with a 2021 Census population of 8,651. It has grown rapidly as a newer suburban and employment precinct, with substantial residential estates and nearby industrial activity. The suburb was separated from Deer Park in the late 1990s and has continued to urbanise as part of Melbourne's west corridor. Its character is contemporary, family-oriented and strongly linked to logistics and transport routes.
Residents benefit from proximity to major roads, local schools, parks and shopping centres in adjacent western suburbs. Lifestyle is practical and commuter-focused, with many households balancing local employment access and city-bound travel. Public transport is mainly bus-led, with rail accessed through nearby stations outside the suburb. Derrimut attracts families and workers seeking newer housing and relative affordability in Melbourne's west.
Derrimut falls under postcode 3030 and is governed by Brimbank Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Laverton (Western Metropolitan) electorate.
