About this area and its boundary
Clyde North - North is a locality in the Casey - South area of Victoria. This profile draws on ABS population and Census figures, the ACARA school register and ACECQA childcare ratings for the Clyde North - North SA2.
13,667 residents - 29.5% are children under 15, median age 32, the largest overseas-born community is India (16.3%).
Why “Clyde North - North”? The ABS divides the larger suburb of Clyde North into several statistical areas (SA2s); this profile covers one part of it. Other parts are listed further down. SA2 boundaries don’t always match suburb boundaries.
Property market
The median house price is $757,000, up 7.4% in a year, and a 3-bedroom house rents for a median $560 a week across the Casey council area.

How many people will live around hereofficial forecast
How many people will live around here
The rest of this page looks backwards. This is the one number that looks forward - and it is the state government's own, not ours. Victoria in Future 2023 (Vic. Dept of Transport and Planning) projects the Casey council area, which contains Clyde North - North along with its neighbouring suburbs, to grow to 527,480 people by 2036: 158,030 more people than the 369,450 counted in 2021.
This is the council area, not Clyde North - North. Casey is a whole local government area covering many suburbs, and neither state publishes a projection for a single suburb. Growth is never spread evenly across a council - a greenfield estate and an established street inside the same council will move very differently - so read this as the direction of the wider area a suburb sits in, not as a forecast for its own streets. Only the years the publisher itself lists are plotted: nothing is filled in between them, and nothing is carried past 2036. A projection is an assumption about the future, not a measurement of it, and it will be revised - this one was released September 2023. These figures sit on the projection's own series, so they are not directly comparable with the ABS resident-population and Census counts elsewhere on this page, which use different geographies and different years.

All 9 checks and what each one means
Flooding
In an official overlay34.2% of the area
Part of this area sits inside a Victorian planning-scheme flood overlay - Land Subject to Inundation, Floodway, or Special Building (overland stormwater). Whether a specific address is affected depends on the property.
Bushfire
Designated Bushfire Prone Area18.9% of the area
This area is inside Victoria’s designated Bushfire Prone Area, the statewide designation that makes bushfire construction standards - the BAL rating a builder works to - apply to a new home or extension. It is not the Bushfire Management Overlay, the narrower planning control, and no part of this area falls in that overlay. The designation is drawn broadly around vegetation, so read it as "check the property", not as a measure of how exposed the area is.
Heritage controls
In an official overlay0.2% of the area
Part of this area sits inside the Victorian Heritage Overlay, so changes to buildings there - extensions, demolition, sometimes even paint colours - need planning approval. It applies property by property: most homes in an area with an overlay are not in it, and being in one is a protection as much as a restriction.
Traffic noise
Main roads onlyBerwick - Cranbourne Road · Grices Road · C407 · +1 more
No freeway or highway is mapped inside this area. 4 named main roads (arterial or connector) run through it. Roads are counted by name, not by mapped segment.
Aircraft noise
Not in the overlayNo Victorian Airport Environs Overlay (including the Melbourne Airport one) intersects this area. The overlays cover land close to an airport under a mapped noise contour - aircraft still fly over areas outside them, including on flight paths.
Land contamination checks
In an official overlay0.2% of the area
Part of this area sits inside the Victorian Environmental Audit Overlay - land where a past use such as a service station, dry cleaner, factory or landfill means an environmental audit must be completed before it can be used for housing, childcare or a school. It flags land that must be checked, not land found to be contaminated, and it applies parcel by parcel.
Acid sulfate soils
None mappedVictoria's coastal acid sulfate soil mapping covers coastal and estuarine land only, and none is mapped in this area. These soils form in low-lying coastal sediments, so away from the coast and the estuaries there is nothing to map - read this as outside the mapped zone rather than as a soil test.
Recorded crime
Official counts published1,976 incidents
Police-recorded criminal incidents in Years ending June; latest = year ending June 2026, unchanged on the prior year. A count, not a rate - busier areas with more shops, stations and visitors record more incidents than quiet ones of the same size. Full breakdown ↑
