The freight capital of Melbourne's south east.
Dandenong runs on freight and building sites, not shopfronts. Transport, postal and warehousing leads Greater Dandenong with 3,930 businesses, and construction follows close behind on 3,440, which lines up with the industrial estates and truck yards ringing the town centre. Around 30,127 people live in the suburb itself, and 31.3% of them are under 25, a much younger profile than most surrounding suburbs. This is a working town that turns over stock and shifts freight all day, and a young one that has not finished growing into itself yet.
A customs broker working the Dandenong South estate does not lose jobs on price. He loses them when a freight company searching for someone to clear next Tuesday's container finds three competitors with a live quote form and one with a phone number that rings out after five. Retail trade adds another 1,723 businesses across Greater Dandenong, and professional, scientific and technical services follows on 1,375, so the freight yards and building sites sit next to bottle shops, mechanics and accountants running the same race for the same searches. Family income here runs to $1,413 a week, enough to pay a proper invoice without haggling, provided the business asking for it looks like it will still be there next year.
