About Mernda
Mernda marks the northeastern terminus of Melbourne's metropolitan rail, a thriving growth suburb of 23,400 in Whittlesea, 27 kilometres from the CBD. The 2018 rail extension transformed the suburb, bringing metropolitan-quality transport to what was previously car-dependent outer suburbia. New estates have spread rapidly around the station precinct.
The rail connection distinguishes Mernda from other growth suburbs—residents can commute by train while enjoying new homes on reasonable blocks. Mernda Junction provides growing retail, while parks and schools establish with the population. Mernda attracts young families seeking the rare combination of growth-suburb value with genuine rail connectivity in Melbourne's attractive northeastern corridor.
Mernda falls under postcode 3754 and is governed by Whittlesea Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Yan Yean (Northern Victoria) electorate.
