A young suburb on an old swamp
Carrum Downs stayed a farming area for a long time, then became one of the fastest growing residential areas in Melbourne, and most of the area is on the former Carrum Swamp.
Water runs through the estates: there is a linear park along Boggy Creek, and Banyan Reserve has a dog free roam area near the retarding basin.
The biggest expansion went west, into Bangholme, where the eastern sewage treatment plant is located, and council has approved 135 residential dwellings to be developed on Pagett Road.

Carrum Downs questions
Old farms and the first homes
Is there anywhere a drain trench needs extra care?
Yes. Wedges Station on Colemans Road is a Victorian Heritage Inventory archaeological site, so digging there needs Heritage Victoria's consent first.
Are the oldest drains in the suburb near the school?
Likely. Long before the estates, the Brotherhood of St Laurence began the building of an elderly persons' community near the primary school, so those pipes are the oldest in Carrum Downs.
