Overview

Montrose lies 33 km east of Melbourne’s CBD at the foothills of Mount Dandenong, covering 11 km² and ranging from 91 m to 324 m above sea level. The 2021 census recorded 6,900 residents, many enjoying a semi‑rural lifestyle surrounded by bushland and historic orcharding lands now blended with post‑war housing development.

Local amenities include two government primary schools – Montrose Primary (opened 1880) and Billanook Primary (opened 1980) – and the Montrose Recreation Reserve, which offers a recycled‑plastic playground, barbecues and facilities for tennis, netball, football, cricket and soccer clubs. Community groups such as the Montrose Coterie, Lions Club and Environmental Group add to a strong neighbourhood feel, while three churches serve spiritual needs. Transport is provided by the Mooroolbark railway station on the Lilydale line, 5.7 km away, and a request‑based Telebus; a congested roundabout was removed in 2024 to ease traffic.
