Melton is a suburb on the outskirts of Melbourne, Victoria. The suburb is located 47 kilometres (29 mi) west of Melbourne's Central Business District on the city's western rural-urban fringe. It is the administrative centre of the City of Melton local government area. As of the 2021 Australian census, the suburb has a population of 7,953.[2]
Originally a country town along the Ballarat — Melbourne growth corridor, Melton was designated a satellite city of Melbourne in 1974.[3][4]. Along with the rest of the City of Melton, it forms a part of Greater Melbourne and counts as part of its population statistic. In 2023, Melbourne's significant urban area boundary was expanded to include Melton.[5]
Like the overall local government area, Melton was named after Melton Mowbray in the United Kingdom.[6]
