About Berwick

Berwick is the established heart of Melbourne's outer southeast, a substantial suburb of over 50,000 in the Casey municipality, located 42 kilometres from the CBD. The Pakenham and Cranbourne lines provide rail access, while the suburb has matured from growth area into an established residential centre. Berwick Village retains heritage charm, while surrounding estates offer modern family homes on generous blocks.

Life here centres on family and education, with excellent public and private schools making Berwick a destination for parents prioritising schooling. The Wilson Botanic Park provides beautiful green space, and the established shopping strips offer more character than typical growth-area retail. Berwick attracts established families, often on their second or third home, seeking quality schools, community facilities, and enough distance from the city to enjoy space without sacrificing accessibility.

Berwick falls under postcode 3806 and is governed by Casey Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Berwick (South-Eastern Metropolitan) electorate.
