Suburbs & postcodes

On the map

The shaded area is the official Local Government Area boundary.

These 17 localities are the ones the CSA assigns to Wyndham, and match the council's own list on its consultation site. We checked each against the official Vicmap locality boundaries: Eynesbury, Laverton, Little River, Mount Cottrell and Truganina are split with neighbouring councils, so they are marked '(part)'. Postcodes come from the CSA's suburb and postcode table for Wyndham. The map shows the ABS boundary; area and density use the ABS area.
