About Mickleham

Mickleham is one of Melbourne's fastest-growing suburbs, transforming from rural land into a community of 17,500 in Hume, 30 kilometres north of the CBD. The suburb lacks direct rail but benefits from proximity to the Hume Freeway and planned infrastructure. Contemporary estates have spread rapidly across former farmland.

Merrifield City is establishing as a major retail and community hub within the suburb, bringing significant amenities to the growth area. The community is young and multicultural, with Indian families particularly prominent. Mickleham attracts first-home buyers seeking affordable contemporary housing in Melbourne's northern growth corridor, accepting current infrastructure gaps for future potential.

Mickleham falls under postcode 3064 and is governed by Hume Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Kalkallo (Northern Metropolitan) electorate.
