Its local government area is the City of Darebin. At the 2016 Census, Reservoir had a population of 50,474. Reservoir is the largest suburb in Melbourne by land area. Reservoir is an established suburb with standard brick homes, weatherboard homes, and an increasing number of new developments. The region contains popular recreation areas and facilities, including Edwardes Lake and the Reservoir Leisure Centre, and is home to the Edwardes Street and Broadway shopping strips. HistoryThe land which became the suburb of Reservoir was first surveyed by Robert Hoddle in 1837 and was formed from parts of both the Jika Jika Parish and Keelbundoora Parish.[2] The Rose Shamrock Hotel opened on Plenty Road in 1854.[3] Reservoir Post Office opened around 1921.[4] Reservoir became a suburb at this time with the name coming from the three water reservoirs first built in 1863, collectively known as Preston Reservoir, which continue to form part of the fresh water to Melbourne’s inner and western suburbs.[5] In 1914 Thomas Dyer Edwardes donated an area of 34 acres of land to the people of the former City of Preston. This land was developed into Edwardes Lake Park.[6] Between 1919 and 1939 swimming was officially permitted with the presence of the Preston Lifesaving Club and regular demonstrations of swimming and lifesaving techniques during this time.[7] OverviewReservoir is close to the Northland Shopping Centre, Preston Market, High Street food quarter, Sydney Road shops and restaurants and one of three remaining drive-in cinemas in Melbourne, the Village in Coburg. The area is experiencing unprecedented growth, with plenty of new developments. It is also very popular with young home-buyers looking for a 'still affordable' inner city lifestyle.{{Citation needed|date=June 2010}} DemographicsThe most common ancestries in Reservoir were, according to the 2016 census, Italian 17.1%, Australian 14.8%, English 13.9%, Greek 6.3% and Irish 5.1%. 55.9% of people were born in Australia.
