Overview

Blackburn South lies 16 km east of Melbourne’s CBD within the City of Whitehorse and recorded a population of 10,939 in the 2021 census. The suburb blends leafy parkland, such as the creek‑side Wurundjeri Walk Trail, Mirrabooka Oval, Eley Park with its tennis club and several smaller green pockets, with a modest commercial strip on Canterbury Road, home to a Woolworths, a McDonald’s and local milk bars. Families benefit from nearby schools including Orchard Grove Primary and Aurora School, while places of worship like St Luke the Evangelist Catholic Church and St Edward the Confessor Anglican Church add community spirit.

Transport is centred on Canterbury Road, Middleborough Road and Blackburn Road, all feeding the Eastern Freeway, and the area is served by Laburnum train station plus easy access to Blackburn and Box Hill stations and PTV bus routes. Originally orchards, the neighbourhood shifted from a 1960s‑70s working‑class character to a more middle‑class profile in the 1980s, with former school sites now redeveloped into housing, offering a mix of older farm‑house remnants and newer residences.
