In the 1830’s, Tarneit was mostly agricultural grazing land. Sheep and cattle ruled the landscape and farms were the preferred land use. Leap ahead 190 years, and this landscape has changed dramatically. Today, Tarneit is a swiftly expanding suburb full of contemporary, yet affordable family homes.

Now one of the largest and fastest growth regions in Victoria, Tarneit recorded a population in 2016 of 36,261. Updated studies show the population now to be 40,403 as at 30 June 2018. It no surprise then, this fast growing, family environment is expected to increase to over 63,000 by 2031.

If you’re after a low-fuss family lifestyle that is close to the vibrancy of Werribee and Hoppers Crossing with the bay also at your doorstep, come and take a look.

Shopping. Cafes. Cuisine.

Your choice of shopping centres is in close proximity.  As befitting a large family population, you have your choice of 3 Coles, 2 Aldis and 1 Woolworths supermarket… So there is no excuse for not finding your favourite grocery items.

Transport

With 1,000 car parking spaces available at the new Tarneit railway station, taking the train is fast and efficient for anyone working in or wanting to commute to Melbourne.
