Browse property in Melba Place

Melba Place winds through Downer’s quiet residential block framed by the local oval that sits between Frencham, Bonython and Bradfield Streets, while mature pine and gum trees – planted in the 1930s as a windbreak for the former CSIRO site – give the streetscape a leafy, historic feel. The homes line a quiet, tree‑shaded street typical of the suburb’s 1960‑era development.

The location enjoys easy access to major thoroughfares such as Northbourne Avenue and Phillip Avenue, with Swinden Street Metro station 0.8 km away and the Dickson Interchange 1.1 km away providing rapid public‑transport links. Within a short walk are the refurbished Downer shopping centre – now home to a cafe, a veterinary clinic and a bronze kangaroo sculpture – as well as the Dickson Library, Dickson Centre and nearby playing fields.
