History

Since the mid-1990s, Narre Warren South has become a booming suburb, taking over what was once was a rural area with few farms or rural areas remaining. In the last 10 years many subdivisions have been developed, including Berwick Springs estate, which was launched in 1999, and Cypress Hill estate/Hillsmeade which was launched around the same time.

There are now other estates in the area, such as Golden Grove estate, Camden Greens Estate, Berwick Springs and Silverleaf.
