Edenbrook Secondary College is situated in Pakenham, Melbourne on the edge of the West Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia, 53 km south east of Melbourne’s Central Business District.
Pakenham was proclaimed a town in 1861 and it was formed as a riding of Berwick Shire in 1868. Pakenham became the headquarters of the Shire in 1901 and a shire hall was eventually built in 1912. Pakenham is named after a village in the English county of Suffolk.
Located within the Shire of Cardinia local government area. Pakenham has become a major growth area in south-eastern Melbourne as new housing developments have boosted it’s population and infrastructure, as exemplified in the development of the Lakeside, Heritage Springs & Edenbrook estates.
