A Short History of Seddon
Seddon grew alongside Melbourne’s west during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, shaped by rail, local industry and working-class housing. Over time it developed a strong village feel and is now known for its community atmosphere, cafes and popular inner-west lifestyle—while still retaining much of its original character.

Blocks can be compact, access can be limited, and neighbour proximity often means careful planning and clean site management is essential.
