Deanside is a suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 24 km (15 mi) west of Melbourne's Central Business District, located within the City of Melton local government area. Deanside recorded a population of 654 at the 2021 census.[1]
The suburb was gazetted by the Office of Geographic Names on 9 February 2017,[2] following a proposal for eleven new suburbs by the City of Melton, and officially came into effect in mid-2017.[3][4]
Prior to the suburb's creation, the area was split between Rockbank and Plumpton.
Historical Significance
[edit | edit source]The suburb now known as Deanside has a rich agricultural and archaeological history. The Deanside Homestead Complex is the core part of the Rockbank pastoral run originally owned by notable pastoralist William Cross Yuille (1819-1894) and subsequently sold to William John Turner Clarke (1805-1874) who owned the 40,000 acre Rockbank Estate.[5] Following the sale in 1853, Deanside became the head station of Clarke's pastoralist empire. The Deanside Homestead Complex is an agricultural complex including the archaeological remains of a mansion and other farm-related structures which was one of the first pastoral properties held in the district.[5] On the historical significance of the area, The Victorian Heritage Council claims that "The homestead complex is an important and early example of a prosperous rural holding in mid to late nineteenth-century Victoria."[5]
