City of Casey
The City of Casey is the local council for Berwick, Cranbourne, and Clyde, in Melbourne’s south-east. Berwick is on the Pakenham line. Cranbourne is the end of the Cranbourne line, and Clyde is the suburb named on the proposed Clyde Rail Link. The council’s customer service office is at Bunjil Place in Narre Warren. The photograph shows the ground-level station building at Berwick.
At the 2021 Census the Australian Bureau of Statistics counted 365,239 people usually living in Casey, the largest count of the councils in this directory. The median age was 34, against 38 for Victoria. There were 122,583 private dwellings, with 3.1 people per household on average. The median weekly household income was $1,918.
The Victorian Electoral Commission, in its preliminary report on Casey’s electoral structure, puts the council at 397 square kilometres. That report warns that its area measurement can differ slightly from other sources. The urban suburbs sit in the north of the municipality. The south runs out through farmland and green wedge to Western Port.
