Overview

Surrey Hills sits 11 km east of Melbourne’s CBD within the Boroondara and Whitehorse councils and recorded a population of 13,655 at the 2021 census. The suburb grew from late‑19th‑century settlements, offering slightly smaller blocks and modest period homes in brick or weatherboard, many reflecting Victorian, Federation and Edwardian styles. Its streets are shaded by mature plane and pin oak trees, creating a leafy, village‑like atmosphere.

A compact 300‑metre Union Road strip provides cafés, the community‑run Bendigo Bank branch and the post office, while three primary schools (Surrey Hills, Chatham and Our Lady’s of Perpetual Succour) serve families. Large green spaces such as Surrey Gardens, South Surrey Park and the adjacent Wattle Park support active recreation, complemented by the Canterbury Sports Ground and Surrey Park reserves. Residents enjoy strong public‑transport links – Union railway station (replacing the former Surrey Hills station) and Chatham station on the Belgrave/Lilydale lines, plus tram routes 109 (Whitehorse Road) and 70 (Riversdale Road) – and easy access to bike paths via the Gardiners Creek, Yarra River and Outer Circle trails.
