We've moved! Our Head office is located at 1 Peters Avenue, Mulgrave 3170
Berwick was once considered to be a small agricultural and pastoral area in the 1800s. By mid 1850s the land was subdivided and businesses including a post office, hotel and more opened. Farmers grew wheat, barley and potatoes with a flour mill operating. Later farmers moved onto dairy farming and cheese making. Berwick’s boom began in the 1970s, the population went from 26,600 to 50,200 within the decade.
Present day Berwick is a mixture of old and new, with several historic 19-century buildings, manicured gardens and streets lined with deciduous trees.
