About Keilor North

Keilor North is a semi-rural suburb in Melbourne's north-west, situated approximately 21 kilometres from the Melbourne CBD within the City of Brimbank local government area. The suburb covers around 7.4 square kilometres and had a 2021 census population of 67, reflecting its very low-density and largely undeveloped character. Keilor North is classified as part of Melbourne's Green Wedge — an area of land protected from urban sprawl that supports agricultural activity, natural habitat, and open space — and contains rare native grassland communities of significance. The suburb lies adjacent to the Organ Pipes National Park along the Calder Highway corridor, lending it an unusual natural quality for a suburb within the metropolitan boundary.

The locality is notable for its panoramic views across the surrounding volcanic plains and Maribyrnong River environs, with the Keilor Public Golf Course on the Calder Highway providing one of the area's key recreational facilities. Urban amenities including schools, shopping, and medical services are available in nearby Keilor, Sydenham, and Taylors Lakes, all within a 10-15 minute drive. Melbourne Airport is only a short drive to the north, making the area convenient for those with aviation connections. Keilor North's Green Wedge status means it is unlikely to experience suburban-style development, preserving its semi-rural character as one of Melbourne's natural buffer zones.

Keilor North falls under postcode 3036 and is governed by the Brimbank Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Fraser, while state elections fall under the Sydenham (Western Metropolitan) electorate.
