Overview

Rockbank sits 28 km west of Melbourne’s CBD within the City of Melton and had a population of 2,583 at the 2021 census. The suburb’s landscape is dotted with large volcanic rocks that give the area a distinctive rural charm, while the rich red volcanic soil underpins a reputation for local wineries and the popular annual Olive Festival. Bordered by the Western Freeway and greening Kororoit Creek, Rockbank feels both close to the satellite city of Melton and set against open countryside.

Residents enjoy a range of community facilities, including the historic Rockbank Primary School (K‑6), a kindergarten, multiple childcare centres, a community hall, a general store and the Ian Cowie Recreation Reserve, home to the Western Rams football and netball club. Transport links are strong, with Rockbank railway station on the Ararat line (upgraded in 2019) and three bus routes, including a Night Network service, connecting the suburb to Sunshine, Watergardens and neighbouring Aintree.
