About Epping
Epping is the multicultural heart of Melbourne's northern growth corridor, a diverse suburb of 33,500 in Whittlesea City, 19 kilometres from the CBD. Pacific Epping shopping centre serves as the regional retail hub, while the South Morang line provides rail access into the city. The Northern Hospital has made Epping a significant employment centre, anchoring the suburb's services role for the outer north.
The suburb pulses with multicultural energy—Indian restaurants, Middle Eastern grocers, and Filipino bakeries reflect the diverse community. Recent development has brought newer estates to the north while established areas maintain mature streetscapes. Epping attracts working families from migrant backgrounds, healthcare workers drawn to the hospital precinct, and those seeking multicultural community with genuine shopping and services in Melbourne's northern growth region.
Epping falls under postcode 3076 and is governed by Whittlesea Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Thomastown (Northern Metropolitan) electorate.
