Key tourism and open space attractions such as the Werribee Park Mansion, Victoria’s Open Range Zoo at Werribee, the State Equestrian Centre, the Point Cook Homestead and the Point Cook RAAF Museum surround the expansive urban area.

 The City is large and diverse. The principal areas of population are Werribee, Hoppers Crossing and Wyndham Vale and there are several other major residential developments. The City also hosts a number of Federal and State Government installations and State Reserves. Research and development of national significance is undertaken in the technology precinct at Hoppers Crossing.
