On the Vicmap Property cadastre (DEECA open data, as at 2026-09-02), Berwick has 23,570 parcels, of which 19,879 (84%) are 300 m² or larger. 300 m² is the minimum lot size under Victoria's Amendment VC253 "small second dwelling" provision (a second dwelling of up to 60 m² without a planning permit). The share is a cadastre-level screen that includes non-residential lots — it says nothing about any individual lot's feasibility, and ignores overlays, easements and building-code requirements.

Planning overlays — heritage, flood and inundation, bushfire management, vegetation protection, design and development, public acquisition and the rest — apply lot by lot, not suburb-wide, so they are not summarised here. Every parcel in Berwick is drawn with its overlays on the interactive Suburb Stats map What each overlay code means is explained in our Victorian planning overlay glossary , and whether a 30 m² or 60 m² second dwelling physically fits on a given lot can be tested in the Granny Flat Site Planner.

PremiumRea clients purchased 11 properties in Berwick between April 2023 and June 2025, out of the 345 transactions in our published dataset (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20095886, CC-BY 4.0). This page states only the count and the date range; per-transaction prices, rents and renovation records are in the dataset itself.

A longer PremiumRea research profile covering Berwick is published at the suburb profile.

Every figure on this page comes from a published government or statutory-authority dataset and is quoted with the publisher and the reporting period in the same sentence, so you can go to the source and check it. Rents are bond-record medians (Homes Victoria in Victoria, the Residential Tenancies Authority in Queensland), not advertised rents. Prices are the Valuer-General's quarterly medians of actual sales. Population is the ABS estimated resident population at 30 June. Crime is the number of offences recorded by the state crime statistics agency. School facts are from ACARA's MySchool and the state education department. None of these figures is adjusted, modelled or forecast by PremiumRea.

The one first-party figure is the count of properties PremiumRea clients purchased in the suburb and the months of the first and last offer, taken from our published dataset of 345 transactions (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20095886). We deliberately do not state a yield, a growth rate or a return for the suburb: those depend on the specific property, the price paid, the works done and the holding period, and a suburb-level figure would say nothing reliable about any purchase you might make. The page is regenerated from the source files at every deploy, and the "Updated" date changes only when a figure actually changed.

General information only, for research. This page is not personal financial, credit, tax or legal advice and is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any property. Third-party data may be out of date, aggregated, estimated or revised by its publisher, and a postcode, statistical area or rental area can differ from the suburb boundary. Confirm every figure with its original source and obtain independent professional advice before acting. Property prices and rents can fall as well as rise.
