About Maddingley
Maddingley is a growing residential suburb within the Shire of Moorabool, located on the south-eastern edge of Bacchus Marsh approximately 55 kilometres west of Melbourne's CBD. Sitting at an elevation of 152 metres in the fertile Lerderderg River valley, the suburb covers 25.5 square kilometres and is home to around 5,491 residents, skewing towards young families with a median age of 33. Household incomes are solid at a median of around $100,000 per year, and strong mortgage activity reflects a surge in new residential development catering to families seeking space beyond Melbourne's urban sprawl.
Maddingley benefits from its proximity to the township of Bacchus Marsh, which offers supermarkets, schools, medical services, and a vibrant farmers market scene. The surrounding agricultural landscape — including the famous Avenue of Honour and Bacchus Marsh's renowned market gardens — gives the area a semi-rural feel that appeals to families seeking space away from the city. The Western Freeway and V/Line rail connection at Bacchus Marsh station link residents to Melbourne, making it a practical choice for commuters who value a quieter lifestyle within the Greater Melbourne catchment.
Maddingley falls under postcode 3340 and is governed by Moorabool Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Eureka (Western Victoria) electorate.
