Overview

Nestled in a right‑angled bend of Olinda Creek, Mount Evelyn lies 37 km east of Melbourne’s CBD and is part of the Shire of Yarra Ranges. At the 2021 census the suburb recorded 9,799 residents, many of whom enjoy a semi‑rural lifestyle framed by the southern edge of the Dandenong Ranges National Park. The area’s natural appeal is highlighted by the Warburton Trail, a walking and cycling route that follows the former Lilydale‑to‑Warburton railway line, and the Mount Evelyn Aqueduct Walk linking Swansea Road to the forested hills.

A solid community infrastructure supports families, with five schools, including Mount Evelyn Primary, St Mary’s Catholic, Birmingham Primary, Yarra Hills Secondary College’s local campus, and Mount Evelyn Christian School, plus a police station nearby. Sport is a local staple, highlighted by the Mount Evelyn Rovers Australian Rules football team that plays at Gary Martin Oval. The suburb’s rapid growth during the 1970s‑80s has produced a blend of established homes and newer residences, offering a variety of housing options within easy reach of both natural escapes and city amenities.
