About Kalkallo

Kalkallo is a fast-growing outer suburb located approximately 30 kilometres north of Melbourne's CBD, within the City of Hume local government area. Set on the basalt plains at an elevation of 237 metres and covering around 7 square kilometres, the suburb forms part of Melbourne's expanding northern growth corridor alongside Craigieburn and Mickleham. With a population of 5,548, a median age of just 30, and an average household size of 3.2, Kalkallo is one of the region's youngest and most family-dominated communities.

Kalkallo has a notably multicultural character, with Indian, English, Italian, and Filipino communities well represented — reflecting the diversity typical of Melbourne's northern growth areas. While local retail and community infrastructure continue to mature, residents have ready access to the established Craigieburn Town Centre and its rail connection on the Craigieburn line into the city. Affordable new housing, parks and open space, and the energy of a young, growing community make Kalkallo an appealing destination for first-home buyers and families seeking space to grow.

Kalkallo falls under postcode 3064 and is governed by Hume Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Kalkallo (Northern Metropolitan) electorate.
