Derrimut’s post code is about to change.
On August 31, the suburb’s post code will be switched from 3030 to 3026.
An Australia Post spokesperson said the transfer followed an operations review.
“We review our operations from time-to-time to ensure that our mail processing arrangements support the efficient and effective delivery of mail,” he said.
“Following a review of Derrimut’s post code, we identified that we can deliver to our customers more efficiently by changing from 3030 to 3026.”
Following the switch, Point Cook, Werribee, Werribee South, Cocoroc and Quandong will remain in 3030.
Derrimut will join Laverton North in 3026.
Derrimut resident Tony Malloy told 3AW the move had been a long time coming.
“I’m happy,” he said. “It makes it a lot easier for location searching.”
The Australia Post spokesperson said all impacted residents and businesses had been notified.
“We have ensured all community members are informed of the change and what it means for them, and welcome any feedback via our social channels or by contacting us on 13 POST.”
The old post code will be gradually phased out up until March, 2019.
