Laverton - Melbourne
Laverton is situated 18 kilometres
west-south-west of Melbourne. It is a suburb known for its
residential and industrial zones. It is to the east of the suburbs
of Hoppers Crossing and Werribee.
The Laverton neighbourhood is located at the western boundary of the
city of Hobsons Bay. Laverton’s borders are formed by the Old
Geelong Road to the north and the Princes Freeway along the south
and east. To the west, the neighbourhood shares a municipal boundary
with the city of Wyndham.
The neighbourhood is primarily a residential area, with most of the
housing constructed since the 1950s. The main retail precinct is
located around Aviation Road.
Laverton is described by residents as a place with a strong
community spirit. People spoke about Laverton having a “good
atmosphere” and without pretensions. They appreciate that Laverton
is affordable and that it has easy access to major road networks and
the train. The downside of living close to the freeway is the impact
of traffic, particularly around the Aviation Road linkage. In
addition, the railway line which passes through the neighbourhood,
is a dominant physical barrier
Overseas born residents
Approximately 31 per cent of Laverton residents were born overseas
and around 20 per cent arrived in the neighbourhood in the past five
years. The main countries of their birth were the United Kingdom,
New Zealand, the Philippines, Vietnam and India. Fifty eight per
cent of Laverton’s residents speak languages other than English.
Education
Laverton has a Prep to Year 12 school and one
Catholic primary school.
