Wyndham City Wards

There are three Council wards in the City of Wyndham. These are Harrison, Chaffey and Iramoo.

This is the area between Morris Road to the east, Sayers Road to the north, Derrimut Road to the west, and Hogans road to the south. 

All data in this profile is from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2006, 2011 or 2016, Census of Population and Housing except for 2020 population data, which is from forecast.id.com.au/wyndham.
