Geography
Casey is spread between the base of the Dandenong Ranges in the north and Western Port Bay in the south. It features a wide variety of geographical features, due to its outer metropolitan location.The north, at the foothills of the Dandenongs, is primarily made up of large blocks of land used for grazing, with some small vineyards in operation. An Urban Growth Boundary has been in place since 2005 to protect this area from future residential subdivision.South of Cranbourne is largely farmland, used for market gardening and grazing. A small number of flower farms exist aroundJunction Village, along with the large Ingham’s plant at Clyde.The southern border of the city is formed by the Western Port Bay, and is the location of a variety of towns including Tooradin andWarneet. The coastal reserves, including the marshes at Tooradin, link up the eastern Western Port with the Mornington Peninsula, although the city excludes the Mornington Peninsula itself.The Cardinia border of the city is formed for some of the boundary by the Cardinia Creek, which is drained through channels into Western Port Bay at its southern end. The popular Riding of the Bounds event takes place along this border, in recognition ofBerwick’s sister city status with Berwick-upon-Tweed in Northumberland, England.
