Find out about Truganina Self Storage. Truganina (pronounced Truga-NINE-a, not Truga-Neena) is a rural-urban fringe suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 22 km west of Melbourne’s Central Business District and 12.4 km away from where City West Storage is located. Its local government areas are the Cities of Melton and Wyndham. Truganina had a population of 9,140 as of the 2011 Census.
Truganina is a rapidly growing suburban area with an estimated population of 8,353 in 2011. It is bordered roughly by the Skeleton-Waterholes Creek to the west; Boundary Road to the north; Mount Derrimut Road Reserve to the east and the Federation Trail to the south.
It is believed to be named after Truganini, a full-blooded Aboriginal Tasmanian woman who spent a short time in the area.
Truganina (and neighbouring Tarneit) is largely characterised by low density development and is growing rapidly in advance of transport infrastructure and services, meaning that the vast majority of new residents are currently dependent on automobiles. The growth is primarily due to affordable housing and the area’s location within a growth corridor that is close to the major manufacturing areas in Laverton and the proposed business park on part of the RAAF Williams Base.
Many distribution centres are setting up in the Truganina area due to the easy access to rail, roads and air freight services. Currently Woolworths Limited has a large liquor distribution centre that services BWS, Dan Murphy’s and Woolworths Liquor. Linfox also have a small logistics centre in the same complex, and to the north of the area K&S Freighters. In 2010 Kmart Australia started construction on a new purpose built distribution centre in Truganina. The Kmart Australia Distribution Centre is now the largest building by footprint size in Australia and the Southern Hemisphere and tenth largest in the world. Another mega distribution centre in the Truganina industrial area was built for Coles Supermarkets in 2012 which is approximately 70,000 square metres.
