About the Suburb

Officer at a glance

Officer is a Cardinia Shire growth suburb positioned on Melbourne's outer south-eastern fringe, a community where new residential estates are delivering spacious lots (typically 500–800 m²), strong community infrastructure and a pace of growth that creates both opportunity and choice for buyers building their first custom home. The suburb's semi-rural setting, panoramic Dandenong Ranges backdrop, and access to both the Monash Freeway and the Pakenham train line make it a practical outer-suburban build location for families who prioritise land and space.
