Plenty is a suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 21 km (13 mi) north-east of Melbourne's Central Business District, located within the Shire of Nillumbik local government area. Plenty recorded a population of 2,575 at the 2021 census.
Plenty is located within Greater Melbourne, beyond the Melbourne metropolitan area Urban Growth Boundary.[3] It is a semi-rural area consisting mostly of large lots, with many being several acres in size. However, increasing urbanisation is evident near the border with the suburb of Greensborough. New housing estates are being established with the population in the area set to increase, however large areas of Plenty are still relatively untouched with development limited due to being in the green wedge.
