About Melton West
Melton West is a residential suburb in Melbourne's outer west, located approximately 35 kilometres from the CBD within the City of Melton. With a population of 8,784 and a median age of 36, the suburb has a relatively young and diverse community, including well-established Maltese and Italian communities alongside growing Indian and Filipino populations. The median household income of $1,450 per week and median monthly mortgage of $1,500 reflect the area's position as one of Greater Melbourne's more affordable housing options.
Melton West blends established residential areas with newer developments across its relatively large footprint on the basalt plains west of the city. The suburb is served by local schools, the Melton Waves leisure centre, and the Woodgrove Shopping Centre in adjacent Melton, which provides major retail services for the area. Access to the Western Freeway and Melton train station makes commuting to Melbourne feasible, and the suburb's multicultural character is reflected in its community organisations, places of worship, and local events.
