Plumpton is a suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 30km (20miles) north-west of Melbourne's Central Business District, located within the City of Melton local government area. Plumpton recorded a population of 10,070 at the 2021 census.
The land on which Plumpton is located was inhabited by people of the Wathaurong nation, part of the Kulin alliance, for at least 25,000 years before European settlement.[1]
Throughout the 2010s, the Victorian Planning Authority (VPA) and its predecessor agencies worked on documents to prepare the area for development. In February 2018, the Plumpton Precinct Structure Plan and associated supporting documents were approved by the Victorian Minister for Planning.[2]
When fully developed, it is planned to accommodate over 12,000 jobs and support a residential community of around 29,900 people.
