About Narre Warren

Narre Warren is the original heart of Melbourne's outer southeast growth, a mature suburb of 27,700 in Casey, located 38 kilometres from the CBD. The Pakenham and Cranbourne lines serve Narre Warren station, while Westfield Fountain Gate provides one of Melbourne's largest retail destinations just to the south. The suburb has evolved from 1970s-80s growth area into an established residential community.

The area offers mature suburban livingβ€”established schools, significant parklands including the Hallam Valley Reserve, and proximity to major shopping without growth-area disruption. The community is increasingly multicultural with strong Indian and Sri Lankan populations. Narre Warren attracts families seeking established homes in the southeast corridor, often trading up from newer growth suburbs while maintaining access to Fountain Gate and quality schools.

Narre Warren falls under postcode 3805 and is governed by Casey Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Narre Warren North (South-Eastern Metropolitan) electorate.
