I live and love tarneit! I am sure I am not the only one who LOVES it! :)

Tarneit! I have been living here since 2 years now and have fallen in LOVE! Beautiful Walk Ways Bike tracks Ample of parking on street and in shopping centers Very safe for family (We are a young couple living with 2 senior citizens, they love meeting our neighboring families during the walk at the park) Some of the parks are very scenic specially the lake at reflections blvd, must visit! Very friendly neighborhood. We have heard a lot of news about burglary but none has been witnessed in our neighborhood, fortunately! The African families in our area are very friendly as well, they always say hello with a lovely smile! :) The house prices are on increase. The local community on facebook are really helpful. The library is good. I am unsure about the schools as we dont have kids, but our neighbor's 3 kids love their P9 school. We have many neighbors who are in various trades, they have been great help whenever some work is required in our house. (electricians, carpenters, packers and movers etc) Very calm and well maintained streets except a few houses who needs to maintain their front yards! We have been living in south east before moving to tarneit, but I love living here now. Very peaceful and so close to city & beaches for that weekend spree. Looking forward for the future stations and road upgrades.

We love Tarneit too! We have never seen any crime and we live here and get around alot. Of course there will be robberies, this is Melbourne! Tarneit is very safe and have never had any issues or felt unsafe. Come and visit, go to the local shopping centre and get a feel of the place and the community, it's mainly a family suburb.

I think 3000 which is CBD would be pretty horrible .... bunch of other horrible crime stats dont make tarneit a nice place ... but sure if you think its okay who am I to argue.

Here is another link with some happenings around the area ... Also do visit the mcdonalds in tarniet ... or better yet just google it ... literally gangs.

I lived there for three years and saw it progressively get worse. It was a decent place ... but lets face it ... its gone absolutely downhill with no planning or any thought put into the area and the advent of all these gangs.

Hi kayk1, I live and love tarneit too and so does my family and all my neighboors, we are a true community that cares and supports each other! People unfortunately concentrate on negative publicity sometimes! Crime rate, boo hoo! try living elsewhere in melbourne or sydney so close to the city, the closer to the city you are the worst the crime rate!

We live and love Tarneit too!!! We moved here when it was quiet, its now a city of its own with so many new residents moving in every week. Beautiful parklands, shopping centres, easy access to beach and city. Many young families, its peaceful, full of life and only getting better once infrastructure is improved. I absolutely love Tarneit too and so does my family!!!

Robberies burglaries are everywhere

I live in the one of the most exp suburbs per sqm in Melbourne and ppl pinch bicycles if u temporarily lock them in the street

Apartment which i own with security guards 6pm to 7am daily CCTV security garage is even broken into in Sth Melbourne by apex gang member

Nothing wrong with tarneit or Pt cook owned there too 4-5 years without any issues

Nothing particularly to do with the suburb more to do with the Melbourne

Just sharing some comparison that I did from the link that you shared!
A 50 - Robbery- Changes from 2016 - Tarneit is up by 290%
A 50 - Robbery- Changes from 2016 - Toorak is up by 200%
A 50 - Robbery- Changes from 2016 - Berwick is up by 172.7%
A 50 - Robbery- Changes from 2016 - Elsternwick is up by 100%
A 50 - Robbery- Changes from 2016 - Truganina is up by 87.5%

And guess what!
Melbourne CBD, postcode 3000, is probably the highest with 286 Robberies reported so far in 2017, only 54.6% has changed from 2016 thou! And Tarneit stands at 39 Robberies in 2017!

So in short, the robberies are increasing every where, Tarneit is not the only suburb! But as you can see Tarneit is better than postcode 3000 atleast! No point making Tarneit look so bad! :)

Anyway Thank you for sharing the link. The data is definitely concerning. And I am sure the governing authorities will do something about it.
