Wyndham’s Independent Local News & Media Platform
WyndhamTV is the City of Wyndham’s dedicated independent news and media platform. Operating from Point Cook in Victoria’s outer south-western suburbs of Melbourne, WyndhamTV covers the full breadth of the Wyndham local government area — delivering breaking news, community stories, council decisions, and local events to residents across one of Australia’s fastest-growing regions.
Founded in 2016 and registered as Wyndham TV Pty Ltd, WyndhamTV has grown into the region’s most recognised independent digital news outlet, with a readership that reflects Wyndham’s diverse, digitally active, and rapidly expanding community.
About WyndhamTV
WyndhamTV is an independent, locally operated news and media organisation. It is not affiliated with any major media conglomerate or political entity. Its editorial focus is on factual, community-centred reporting that keeps Wyndham residents informed about the issues, incidents, and events that affect their daily lives.
The platform was established in 2016 by Wyndham resident Tim Butler, with support and assistance from fellow Wyndham resident Sam Sortino, to address a clear gap in local media coverage for the City of Wyndham — a local government area that, at the time, was already one of the fastest-growing in Australia and continues to expand at a significant pace.
As of 30 June 2024, the City of Wyndham had an estimated resident population of 337,009 — up 4.00% from the previous year, outpacing Greater Melbourne’s overall growth rate of 2.74%. Population forecasts project Wyndham will reach 501,634 residents by 2041, making it one of the most significant local media markets in Victoria outside the Melbourne CBD.
WyndhamTV is committed to growing alongside the community it serves.
