Browse property in Austral Avenue

Austral Avenue runs through Preston’s flat terrain and showcases the suburb’s transition from the original low‑density farm‑derived homes to the medium‑ and high‑density housing that grew after the 1960s, including the 2,600 Housing Commission dwellings that now form part of the streetscape. The mix of early residential blocks and later public housing gives the street a varied architectural character typical of Preston’s evolving urban fabric.

The avenue is well served by public transport, with multiple tram stops on Plenty Road (Gower St, David St, Murray Rd, Bell St and Osborne Grove) and the nearby Bell and Preston railway stations on the Mernda line, complemented by an extensive bus network across the suburb. Residents also benefit from nearby amenities such as Preston High School, the former St James Theatre, Preston Post Office, Preston & Northcote Community Hospital and the 3KND radio station, all within walking distance.
