The northern Monash Freeway node is a mixed precinct, influenced by the location of the Monash University and the scientific and technical precinct, although with manufacturing and wholesale trade still being important employers. The Princes Highway (Middle) node’s employment base reflects the location of the Monash Medical Centre and the manufacturing industry which remains.

  • 21 Municipal Strategic Statement 21.01 Municipal
    LOCAL PROVISION GREATER DANDENONG PLANNING SCHEME 21 MUNICIPAL STRATEGIC STATEMENT 21.01 MUNICIPAL PROFILE 21.01-1 Overview The City of Greater Dandenong acknowledges the Kulin Nation people as the traditional custodians of land on which the City is located. The City of Greater Dandenong was established on 15 December 1994 by the merger of the former City of Dandenong, approximately seventy percent of the former City of Springvale and small parts of the former Cities of Berwick and Cranbourne. The City occupies 129.6 square kilometres and its centre is approximately thirty kilometres east of the Melbourne Central Activities District (CAD). It includes the suburbs of Dandenong, Dandenong North, Dandenong South, Springvale, Springvale South, Noble Park, Keysborough, Lyndhurst and Bangholme. The population is rapidly ageing and was estimated at 130,941 in 1997, with a projected decline to 128,028 in 2011. Fourteen percent of families are sole-parent. Greater Dandenong has an extremely culturally diverse population with 137 different nationalities represented, of which forty-six percent were born overseas. Thirty-eight percent are from non-English speaking backgrounds. The most significant ethnic grouping is the Asian-born population, which is one of the highest concentrations in metropolitan Melbourne. Migration patterns reflect areas of global conflict and world “hot spots”. Incomes in Greater Dandenong are characteristically low compared with metropolitan Melbourne. Unemployment has traditionally exceeded regional and State levels by three to four percent although there has been a decline in unemployment rates in recent years. The labour force is relatively low skilled, with sixty-seven percent of the population without tertiary qualifications.
