20-May, 2009: Melbourne's Newest Suburb
Botanic Ridge is now officially Melbourne's newest suburb. Botanic Ridge was officially gazetted as Melbourne's newest stand alone suburb on 12 March 2009 by the Victorian Register of Geographic Names.
Encompassing the 950-lot Botanic Ridge residential estate as well as the 18-hole Greg Norman designed Settlers Run Golf Course, Botanic Ridge will eventually become home to up to 11,500 residents.
The new Botanic Ridge suburb is also set to be subject to the Victorian Government's Growth Areas Authority, and their Precinct Structure Plans, which will be expected to propose a Botanic Ridge convenience activity centre and new schools for the area.
