Western Melbourne · 3337
Melton township has around 7,953 residents and a median house price of approximately $500,000 — the most affordable suburb in our service area. The housing stock is predominantly 1970s to 1990s detached homes with a country-town character that is distinct from the newer surrounding suburbs like Brookfield and Aintree. Melton is the furthest suburb from our Werribee base at about 30 to 40 minutes, but we service it for larger projects. The older housing stock needs fence replacements, deck additions, and outdoor upgrades. The surrounding rural properties also bring equine construction work — horse shelters, paddock fencing, and stable builds.

Melton sits on the Western Volcanic Plains with reactive clay soils, the same geological profile as the broader western Melbourne region. Flat volcanic terrain with engineered footings required for all construction. The conditions are familiar to us from our work across the Wyndham corridor.
The 1970s to 1990s housing stock in Melton provides straightforward renovation opportunities. Fence replacements, deck and pergola additions, and outdoor area upgrades are the common projects. The affordable price point attracts investors doing renovation work, as well as owner-occupiers upgrading their outdoor spaces. Strong recent price growth of over 11% annually suggests the market is improving.
Melton falls under the City of Melton. The House Rules Character Assessment Guidelines from 2015 apply. The old Melton township may have some heritage considerations.
