How Beveridge is growing
Beveridge began as a farming township, known as Ned Kelly's childhood home, and recorded 4,642 residents at the 2021 Census. The approved Beveridge North West precinct plan alone is expected to house about 47,000 people over 20 to 30 years, and the Beveridge freight terminal and Camerons Lane interchange are in planning nearby.
From township to growth front
Beveridge sits about 37km north of Melbourne on the Hume corridor. Mandalay, started in 2008, was the first large estate; newer precincts are now planned across the surrounding farmland.
Beveridge North West
The Victorian Government approved the Beveridge North West Precinct Structure Plan in August 2025, covering 1,279 hectares between Beveridge and Wallan with four town centres and eight school sites planned.
Freight and roads
The Beveridge intermodal freight terminal is in its planning and approvals phase, and the Camerons Lane interchange on the Hume Freeway is listed as in planning.
Getting around
Beveridge has no train station of its own. Donnybrook and Wallan stations on the North East line are the nearest, and a bus links Mandalay with Craigieburn station.
What growth means for buyers
Fast building programs and many crews on site at once are when workmanship slips. Independent stage checks are most useful in exactly that environment.
