Growth and development in Werribee VIC
Werribee had a railway station in 1857 and has grown into the most populous centre of the City of Wyndham, with 50,027 residents at the 2021 Census. Since the 1990s housing has spread into greenfield land, and estates such as Harpley and Riverwalk continue that today.
Harpley is a Lendlease community of around 435 hectares, with a secondary school site secured within it.
Riverwalk, a Development Victoria estate of around 197 hectares, is the other large release in the suburb.
Kings Leigh is a more settled estate of newer homes and townhouses.
The older town centre is under a council heritage review, which can affect alterations to listed places.
Rapid building means many homes are within the 10 year statutory warranty period.
