Melton Shire is booming. It was recently recognized as Australia fastest growing municipality and is one of the fastest growing urban areas in Melbourne�s Western Region. Melton Shire offers the best in urban and rural lifestyles covering an area of approximately 530 square kilometres. The Shire is at the hub of a region bordered by Werribee and Geelong in the south, Bacchus Marsh, Sunbury to Melbourne Airport and over to the Hume Highway in the east. Melbourne lies approximately 35 kilometres to the southeast. The Shire embraces the communities of Burnside, Caroline Springs, Diggers Rest, Exford, Hillside, Melton, Rockbank, Taylors Hill and Toolern Vale. Melton is the shopping and commercial centre of the district with two distinctive commercial hubs at High Street and Woodgrove Shopping Centre.
