About Brooklyn

Brooklyn is an industrial and residential suburb in Melbourne's western suburbs, located 10 kilometres from the CBD in the City of Brimbank. With a population of 1,979 at the 2021 census and a median age of 34, it covers 5.5 square kilometres at 28 metres elevation. The suburb has a strong industrial character with significant freight and logistics operations, but also contains pockets of residential housing, particularly along its eastern fringe near Yarraville.

Brooklyn is primarily an industrial suburb, home to major transport depots, warehouses, and the Brooklyn Terminal freight hub. The residential areas offer some of Melbourne's most affordable housing close to the CBD, though air quality concerns from nearby industry are a consideration. The Federation Trail cycling and walking path runs through the suburb, providing a green corridor. It attracts workers in the logistics sector and budget-conscious buyers drawn to its proximity to the Western Ring Road and West Gate Freeway.

Brooklyn falls under postcode 2083 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Hornsby electorate.
