Summary:In July 2008 the City of Melbourne took over the administration of parts of Kensington and North Melbourne that were previously under the City of Moonee Valley. This resulted in a resident population increase of approximately 4,760 (over 1,800 of whom lived in North Melbourne (new)) and almost 3,000 workers (2,700, or 90% of whom were employed in the ‘new area of North Melbourne’, according to the 2006 Census). It changed the municipality’s age profile and the multicultural profile of the community (in particular, significantly increasing the size of the Somali-born community in the City of Melbourne). It also increased the total number of families with a child aged 0-12 years (enumerated by the 2006 Census) in the City by 325 (15%). Over 160 such families were counted in North Melbourne. This is likely to have resource implications for family and children’s services in future. The City of Melbourne Multicultural Profile found reason to believe the Somali born community was ‘at risk’ of marginalization and recommended further investigation. -- TAKEN FROM KEY FINDINGS.
