About Grangefields
Grangefields is a new residential suburb in the City of Melton, located approximately 31 kilometres west of Melbourne CBD and about 5 kilometres south-east of the Melton town centre. Established in 2017 as part of Melbourne's rapidly expanding western growth corridor, the suburb had a population of 132 at the 2021 Census, reflecting its early stage of development. The City of Melton is one of Australia's fastest-growing local government areas, and Grangefields represents the latest wave of master-planned residential estates emerging in this part of Melbourne's outer west.
Grangefields is a suburb still very much in its early growth phase, with new housing estates taking shape amid the open grasslands of the western fringe. Nearby Melton provides access to supermarkets, schools, medical services, and a V/Line train service to Melbourne. The suburb is popular with young families and first-home buyers attracted by more affordable land prices compared to inner Melbourne, and the broader Melton area continues to invest in roads, schools, and community infrastructure to keep pace with population growth.
Grangefields falls under postcode 3335 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Sydenham (Western Metropolitan) electorate.
