City of Casey
Welcome to the City of Casey, one of Australia’s fastest growing areas with a wide range of community amenities constantly being approved and delivered.
The current population of 380,000 is expected to grow to 549,000 by 2041, which would make it bigger than Canberra is today. In anticipation of this growth, the city has developed a strategic plan to ensure Alma residents have access to infrastructure including transport, employment, community facilities, activity centres, open spaces and recreation facilities.
From your home in Alma, you can seek adventure on your doorstep or further afield. In just 15 minutes you can be feasting on international culinary delights, visiting the Cranbourne Royal Botanic Gardens, or strolling through one of 20 local parks and playgrounds. The future Clyde Regional Park is located nearby, Carrum beach is only half an hour away, and you can begin a tour of the Mornington Peninsula in just 40 minutes.
If you’re looking for a sports club, five minutes down Pattersons Road you’ll find whatever sport tickles your fancy: the Clyde Tennis Club, Clyde Cricket Club, Clyde Cougars Football Club, Casey Crusaders Rugby Union Club, and Casey Warriors Rugby League Club. Just 15 minutes further is the Cranbourne Golf Club – one of Australia’s top-rated courses. Whether you participate or watch, sport is a great way to make friends who share your passion!
The local road network connects the areas surrounding Alma in all directions, including to the existing amenities in the Officer South Employment Precinct. The M1 and M3 freeways will take you into the city or out to the country. Public transport options include the Cranbourne and Officer train station, just 15 minutes away, the future Clyde station just around the corner, and a future bus stop you’ll be able to walk to.
The City of Casey boasts no fewer than 75 established private and government schools. Primary schools close to home include Clyde Creek Primary, Topirum Primary, Ramlegh Park, St Thomas The Apostle, Mirniyan Primary and Clyde Grammar to name a few. Secondary schools are just as plentiful and include Hillcrest Christian College, Clyde Secondary College, Casey Grammer – the list goes on! And we haven’t even touched on the many new schools to be delivered, or the huge range of childcare and kindergartens!
Right now, you will find everything from a bakery to cafes, restaurants, tech, florists, hair and beauty salons, a pharmacy, full line Coles supermarket and much more at Shopping on Clyde, just 9 minutes along Patterson Road. St. Germain Central is just 11 minutes away, and is home to one of the largest medical and wellness precincts in the region as well as 20 retail outlets. Then there’s the future local Town Centre across the road from Alma, with many of the same retailers as Shopping on Clyde – including Coles – and the Major Town Centre on the corner of Tucker’s Road and Ballarto Road, barely 6 minutes away.
Clyde North falls under the Urban Growth Zone (UGZ) in the City of Casey, allowing for residential, commercial, and community development. Some activities may require permits.
