History

It was named after the Clyde Creek, a watercourse between two early pastoral runs. The stream flowed eastwards to the Koo Wee Rup Swamp about 6 km away. It is thought that the name was inspired by the Clyde River, Scotland. [2]

Clyde Post Office opened on 25 January 1864. In 1915 it was renamed Clyde North, when Clyde Railway Station office was renamed Clyde. [3]

Today

The area to the west of Berwick-Cranbourne Road is mostly within the Urban Growth Boundary, with a residential development known as "Cascades On Clyde" and several others, under construction, having begun in late 2007.

Parks Victoria are also investigating the creation of a new regional park, on land bounded by Berwick-Cranbourne and Thompson Roads.

The area of Clyde North to the east of the newly built suburban area, roughly 1 kilometre east of Berwick-Cranbourne Road, is classed as Green wedge land, is distinctly rural in nature, and is outside of the main growth corridor. The land is used in this area for a mixture of market gardening (notably around Pattersons Road) and dairy farming. The land is mainly flat, and most of the roads in the area are dirt roads maintained by the City of Casey.

A new lifestyle centre was recently opened in late 2019, with a Bunnings Warehouse as the first store, followed by a few others, and now contains an Aldi supermarket.

Education

Public schools

The public schools located in Clyde North are Grayling Primary School, [4] Ramlegh Park Primary School, [5] Topirum Primary School, [6] Wilandra Rise Primary School, [7] as well as the upcoming Clyde North Secondary School (interim name) opening in 2025 for Year 7 students [8] and Thompsons West Primary School (interim name) opening in 2025. [9] The Victorian Government is currently building new public primary and secondary schools, as options (especially for secondary education) are currently scarce for Clyde North residents.

Private schools

The Catholic and independent schools located in Clyde North are Hillcrest Christian College, Rivercrest Christian College, and Clyde Grammar (open to Prep to Year 2 students). Some families transport their children to private schools in neighbouring suburbs as well, such as Berwick.

Transport

Road

Berwick-Cranbourne Road (which continues on to be known as Clyde Road in the suburb of Berwick) is the major arterial road for the suburb of Clyde North. Other major roads include Soldiers Road, which serves the Berwick Waters estate, Thompson Road, which is the major east-west road for the suburb, Pattersons Road, which is a major east-west road for the southern edge of the suburb, and Bells Road, which serves the developing St Germain estate. Bells Road and Soldiers Road are not to be confused with their counterparts in Berwick, where they do not connect to the roads of the same name. Clyde North is a very car-dependent suburb, even when compared to its neighbouring suburbs.

Cycling

There are very few cycling paths in Clyde North. The few notable paths are on MacKillop Way, Thoroughbred Drive, and the pedestrian pathway alongside Heather Grove.
