About Niddrie
Niddrie is an established residential suburb in Melbourne's inner northwest, located approximately 10 kilometres from the CBD within the Moonee Valley City Council area. Home to around 5,901 residents across a compact 1.8 square kilometres, the suburb has a rich multicultural character shaped in part by its prominent Italian-Australian community. The median household income of $2,213 per week and median age of 40 reflect a stable, predominantly owner-occupier demographic of working families and long-term residents.
The suburb's main commercial strip along Keilor Road offers a range of local cafes, restaurants, delis, and services with a notably strong Italian influence. Niddrie is well-served by bus connections to Moonee Ponds and the CBD, with easy access to the Western Ring Road for broader metropolitan travel. Quiet streets lined with post-war brick homes and newer infill development make Niddrie a practical and affordable option within one of Melbourne's most accessible northwest corridors.
Niddrie falls under postcode 3042 and is governed by Moonee Valley Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Niddrie (Western Metropolitan) electorate.
