TARNEIT, THE HAPPIEST SUBURB IN VICTORIA!
September 2023 in Meet Your Neighbours
One of Melbourne’s newer suburbs, Tarneit is already home to more than 50,000 people, and still growing fast. It is easy for residents to commute into work as it is a short 27-minute train ride into the CBD.
There are plenty of great reasons to live here, and last month, The Age revealed data indicating that Tarneit might be the state’s happiest suburb. At the very least, it might accommodate the state’s most mentally healthy residents and many locals are not surprised.
Recently we spoke to Westbrook resident, Meenu, about her thoughts on Westbrook.
“Westbrook ticks all the boxes, and there’s so much to love… its great location, so close to both the Freeway and the Tarneit Train station, incredibly well presented, beautifully designed, with stunning landscaping, incorporating so many parks and open spaces. Plus, it’s hard to go past all the fantastic facilities, not to mention Tarneit Central Shopping Centre located right next door.
Westbrook is shaping up to be a thriving community – and one that I am really looking forward to becoming a part of.”
The Age article also pointed out that high rates of employment; a vibrant, diverse growing multicultural community that embraces cultural diversity and fosters community involvement; and the drive and determination of the suburb’s many migrants to create a better life for their families, all of which collectively have given them purpose and promoted a greater sense of belonging.
Then there’s the natural beauty of the local environment, with its many parks and walking trails, taking in the Werribee River and Port Phillip Bay, and the nearby You Yangs, which also boosts people’s moods and enhances mental health.
However you define happiness, we’ll take their word for it! So, are you ready to make the move to Westbrook?
