Overview

Silvan sits 40 km east of Melbourne in the Shire of Yarra Ranges, with a community of 1,323 residents recorded at the 2021 Census. Positioned midway between the larger suburbs of Belgrave and Lilydale, the town offers easy road access to both, making it convenient for commuters while retaining a distinctly rural feel. Rich, fertile soils support a thriving horticultural scene, and visitors are drawn to the numerous pick‑your‑own orchards, berry farms and the hybrid “silvanberry” blackberry that bears the town’s name.

The town’s lifestyle is centred around community events and outdoor recreation. Each spring the Tulip Festival attracts over 100,000 visitors, and the nearby Silvan Reservoir adds a scenic water‑based amenity. Residents enjoy active clubs, including the long‑standing Silvan Football Club and Silvan Cricket Club, fostering a close‑knit, sport‑loving atmosphere within a predominantly residential setting.
