Overview

Blackburn North lies 17 km east of Melbourne’s CBD within the City of Whitehorse and recorded 7,627 residents at the 2021 census. The suburb is characterised by wide, leafy streets and quarter‑acre blocks, many of which were once an apple orchard, giving the area a spacious, family‑friendly feel. Primary families are served by Old Orchard Primary School and St Philips Catholic School, while Blackburn High School provides secondary education, and Koonung Reserve and Slater Reserve offer cricket, tennis, soccer and basketball facilities.

Although there is no railway station in the suburb, several bus routes connect Blackburn North to the Box Hill transport hub, where tram and train services operate, and to nearby Blackburn and Laburnum stations. The Eastern Freeway runs along the northern edge, alongside the Koonung Creek Trail for cyclists. Shopping needs are met by the nearby North Blackburn Square (technically in Blackburn) and larger centres such as Westfield Doncaster and Box Hill Central, while a small light‑industrial area sits in the north‑east corner of the suburb.
