About Wollert

Wollert is one of Melbourne's fastest-growing suburbs, transforming from farmland into a community of over 24,000 in Whittlesea, 25 kilometres north of the CBD. The suburb lacks direct rail but benefits from proximity to the South Morang line and planned transport extensions. Contemporary estates have rapidly established across former agricultural land.

This is growth-suburb living in its most dynamic phaseβ€”new homes rising, schools establishing, and community forming in real time. Aurora development has brought retail and services, while parks are planned throughout. Wollert attracts first-home buyers and young families seeking affordable contemporary homes in Melbourne's northern growth corridor, accepting current infrastructure gaps for future potential and house-and-land value.

Wollert falls under postcode 3750 and is governed by Whittlesea Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Thomastown (Northern Metropolitan) electorate.
