Overview

Mount Evelyn lies 37 km east of Melbourne’s CBD within the Shire of Yarra Ranges and had a population of 9,799 at the 2021 census. Nestled in a right‑angled bend of Olinda Creek, the suburb has easy access to the Warburton Trail and the Mount Evelyn Aqueduct Walk, linking the community to the Dandenong Ranges National Park and a tourism industry rooted in the 1930s.

The area is served by five schools, including Mount Evelyn Primary and Yarra Hills Secondary College, providing families with local education options. Community sport centres on the Mount Evelyn Rovers Australian Rules football team at Gary Martin Oval. Although the railway closed in 1965, the former line now forms part of the Lilydale‑to‑Warburton rail trail, giving cyclists and walkers a link to nearby towns. Rapid growth in the 1970s‑80s created a varied housing stock for diverse lifestyles.
