[edit] History
Ardeer Post Office opened on 1 December 1953 as suburban development took place and closed in 1979. [2]
[edit] Kororoit Creek
A section of the Kororoit Creek runs along the north and west border of Ardeer. The Kororoit Creek Trail contains wide open park space and native vegetation rarely seen so close to the Melbourne CBD.
On October 2007 John Brumby announced that funding would be provided to link the Kororoit Creek Trail to the Federation Trail joining together two western suburb bike paths.
