Wantirna Housing, business and commercial development continues to flourish across the City of Knox. As the population matures, there is renewed interest in the arts, leisure and recreational facilities. The changing demographic will be a focus for the future.
These changing demographics are also impacting housing development. There is an increase in multi-unit developments which provide modern and easily maintainable living; however the popularity of established homes on sufficient blocks of land remains robust. The limited availability of land in the area has seen residents and developers demolish existing homes and rebuild brand new dwellings in the area. As buildings age, new development will revitalise the City.
Today Knox is one of the most populous municipalities in Victoria with almost 151,000 residents now living in 11 localities. Knox residents are proud to retain neighbourhood character and the natural environment whilst moving toward the modern future.
