At first blush Point Cook, 22km from the CBD, looks like many other satellite suburbs dotted around the big cities in Australia. Its neat streets and cul-de-sacs are lined with large new houses, its parks are freshly manicured, schools, shops and cafes are sprinkled throughout. It feels new and shiny because it is. It barely existed just 20 years ago so it hasn’t had time to feel old or tired.
But scratch the surface and you realise this area is hardly an Australian version of The Truman Show. Hidden behind a deceivingly cookie-cutter facade is a beating young heart that tells a stunning story about Australian immigration.
In the past two decades, Point Cook has exploded from a sparsely populated semirural backwater of barely 2000 people to become, according to the 2021 census, Australia’s most multicultural suburb with almost 70,000 residents. Yet it’s hardly a struggletown where new immigrants battle a lack of opportunity, unemployment and high crime.
This is a hardworking, aspirational, close-knit community that slays the negative myths about new Australians perpetrated by migration sceptics.
