Overview

Burrow East sits 17 km east of Melbourne’s CBD within the City of Whitehorse and recorded 10,675 residents at the 2021 census. The suburb blends leafy remnants such as Highbury Park, with the locally uncommon Shiny Wallaby‑grass, and a strong sporting scene anchored by the Nunawading Basketball Centre, Velodrome, cricket and football clubs. Commercial activity centres on the historic Kmart Plaza and the newer Burwood Brickworks precinct, which provides retail, a Woolworths supermarket and a 2,000 m² rooftop farm. Families also benefit from several schools, including Burwood East Primary and Forest Hill College, and the state’s largest RSPCA shelter.

Public transport is extensive: Ventura operates four daily bus routes (703, 732, 735, 736) and tram Route 75 runs along Burwood Highway, with stops at Blackburn Road, Highview Grove and nearby intersections. The suburb is bounded by Springvale Road, Middleborough Road, Eley Road and Highbury Road, offering easy car access. Housing is diversifying through the Burwood Heights “Major Activity Centre” plan and the Brickworks redevelopment, together delivering up to 1,000 new dwellings alongside existing homes.
