About Narre Warren
Welcome to Narre Warren
Situated in the South East of Melbourne in Victoria,
Australia.
Proudly supporting local Business and Enterprise
About 38km south-east of the heart of Melbourne, Narre Warren is now part of the
City of Casey which was formed in 1994 in a major reshuffle of the metropolitan
local government areas. Along with the sister Princes Highway town of Berwick,
Narre Warren was among a cluster of rural communities which served early travellers
to the Gippsland region. They are all now part of one of the fastest growing residential
and commercial areas in the greater Melbourne region - a municipality stretching
from the Dandenong Ranges to the shores of Western Port, with a broad, ethnically-based
population of 183,00, which is expected to peak at around 300,000 in the first
quarter of the 21st century. Narre Warren also has considerable historic significance
because the township embraces the site of Victoria’s first Aboriginal Protectorate
Station. Although the first settlers were mainly pastoralists, the districts heavy
black soil was particularly suited to potatoes and grain and the state’s
oldest agricultural collective, the Port Phillip Farmers’ Society was established
in the region in 1848. The Narre Warren-based Westfield shopping town, Fountain
Gate, has recently been extended to include a David Jones department store and
a multi-screen, Village Cinema complex.
