Cheap affordable rental houses, housing and land.

Not as much crime as Werribee, Hoppers Crossing or Tarneit.

Werribee is the closest town centre, but there are local shops and supermarkets.

Enjoy the new restaurants on Ballan Rd.

2 Medical centres. Very friendly Pharmacists at the Wyndham Vale (Ballan Rd) Pharmacy.

Proposed railway coming near Manor Lakes.

55mins all stations including city loop to Melbourne. Express (Laverton to Newport) and no city loop is closer to 35mins.

Several brand new Childcare centres.

The main traffic is on Ballan Road but there is virtually no traffic in Wyndham Vale itself.

Avoid the older side of Wyndham Vale south of Greens road.

The transport system and roads are not prepared for the amount of traffic there will be in the future.

Buses are 40mins apart and trains at Werribee station 20mins apart.

You can't get ADSL 2 in the new area..

Mobile phone reception is terrible - just doesn't work most of the time even with 3G.

Mice are common in the new homes because of the fields surrounding the area.


I've never been broken into while living in Wyndham Vale but I know people who have. As many people have stated the affordable housing attracts people on the lower end of the socio-economic scale. This suburb is great for a mediocre life, either working in town or in the city. The house I currently live in is $240 a week brand new 4 bedrooms, so you can understand the desire to live here despite the reputation. Unless you are looking for a fast paced life-style with plenty of night life you'll find everything you need here (Or in the surrounding suburbs).
