Clyde North

Clyde North is located in the City of Casey and had a population of 31,681 at the 2021 census.

History

It was named after the Clyde Creek, a watercourse between two early pastoral runs. The stream flowed eastwards to the Koo Wee Rup Swamp about 6 km away. It is thought that the name was inspired by the Clyde River, Scotland.

Clyde Post Office opened on 25 January 1864. In 1915 it was renamed Clyde North, when Clyde Railway Station office was renamed Clyde.

Today

The area to the west of Berwick-Cranbourne Road is mostly within the Urban Growth Boundary, with a residential development known as “Cascades On Clyde” and several others, under construction, having begun in late 2007.

Parks Victoria are also investigating the creation of a new regional park, on land bounded by Berwick-Cranbourne and Thompson Roads.

A new lifestyle centre was recently opened in late 2019, with a Bunnings Warehouse as the first store, followed by a few others, and now contains an Aldi supermarket.

Education

The public schools located in Clyde North are Grayling Primary School, Ramlegh Park Primary School, Topirum Primary School, Wilandra Rise Primary School, as well as the upcoming Clyde North Secondary School (interim name) opening in 2025 for Year 7 students  and Thompsons West Primary School (interim name) opening in 2025. The Victorian Government is currently building new public primary and secondary schools, as options (especially for secondary education) are currently scarce for Clyde North residents.

The Catholic and independent schools located in Clyde North are Hillcrest Christian College, Rivercrest Christian College, and Clyde Grammar (open to Prep to Year 2 students). Some families transport their children to private schools in neighbouring suburbs as well, such as Berwick.
