Tarneit

Counter-terrorism police are continuing their investigations.

A woman has been found dead at Tarnite in a suspected hit run this morning.

A passerby locating the woman's body on Leakes Road just before 6 o'clock.

NAB has revealed plans to axe up to 2,500 jobs, Tom.

I see a hell of a lot of that sort of thing, which I guess is dumping in a way.

But if you've seen the videos, especially around Tarneit way, they are horrifying.

The scale of this problem is, would blow your mind if you had not seen it firsthand or online.

133693, I want to know how bad the problem is where you live.

Good afternoon, Tony.

Now, there are, as I said, Monica, who works on the program, noticed it on the train going to the city of which you are mayor.

I'm assuming that's the Tarneit.

We know there's a cultural dimension to it.

If you look at multiple cities, similar data.

If you talk about Melbourne, again, they were Tarniet as a new suburb, Manor Lakes.

Again, you look at 2012 versus now.

At the same time, you could have bought a property there for, let's say, 300, 350K.

Now, growth happened across both the places.

It's not that growth didn't happen.

But again, during the first 10 years, the growth in Tarniet, Manor Lakes was in the tune of 50 to 60% for, from 2012 to 2020.

While Derrimut, Hoppers Crossing, they grew by almost 80%.

Um, okay.

We, we put it in Tarneit, and when you get to the top, you can throw your rubbish out.

[laughs] Right.

How's that?

Like they were only just making it residential.

Right now Werribee is Tarneit, Truganina, like there's about six or seven different suburbs in, in Werribee now.

Like it's huge, it's massive, and it's part of Melbourne.

But back then, um, we still got our milk like delivered to the front door, and like there was still a horse and cart that'd go down our street.

She updates her old Facebook page, which still had her old mobile number.

And she adds a page to her website about grooming in Point Cook and Tarneit, where most of her customers are, with real reviews from locals.

Will she be top of the map next week? Probably not.

Local SEO takes time, and it depends on what her competitors are doing too.

Like, they were only just making it residential.

Right now Werribee is Tarneit, Truganina, like, there's about six or seven different suburbs in, in Werribee now.

The people that move into those townhouses will be the millennials that today live on the outskirts because they will kick out their kids at 18, 20.

Then they will move into smaller townhouses and the townhouses in Tarnit, in Point Cook, they will be opened up for the new tranche of first home buyers at a relatively affordable rate, not cheap or anything, but more affordable than people might expect at the moment.

So we'll see shorter turnover of population, which is great if you are a mortgage broker, if you're a real estate agent, the 2030s and 40s will be great fun for you.

Is there any way that we can influence where people are moving? So whether that's through migration or, you know, providing amenity and infrastructure and making locations more attractive?

we've seen for example geelong boom because we doubled down on infrastructure investments of the state putting certain kind of government departments there so you can you can nudge population a certain way um but you know a new town would be the really fun stuff where you give dirt cheap land to certain kind of industries and you build out some sort of infrastructure.

But the reason we are not doing this is most likely that we have this massive infrastructure backlog and we can't build infrastructure.

And if we were to build wonderful, productive, new infrastructure to invisible future populations, the existing voters in Point Cook, in Tarnit, that say, hey, you owe us a bit of infrastructure, they wouldn't vote for you.

So we are damned to play infrastructure catch up forever and therefore not be on the front foot in Australia.

Yeah.

Yeah, so our colleague Pat Hatch went out to Tarneit, which is on the Melbourne fringe, fastest growing suburb in Australia.

You have a situation where houses are being built very rapidly, but the transport connections, the schools, the parks, all those things that make places livable are not.

And so...
