Overview

Templestowe lies 16 km north‑east of Melbourne’s CBD within the City of Manningham and is home to 16,966 residents (2021 census). Bordered by the Yarra River, King Street, Victoria Street and Blackburn Road, the suburb blends gentle rolling hills and forested gullies with extensive parklands such as Westerfolds and Candlebark, while larger retail precincts, including the nearby Stockland The Pines centre, provide convenient shopping options.

Although Templestowe has no rail service, a bus network links the area to Melbourne, Box Hill, Blackburn and Ringwood, with modest off‑peak frequencies that were modestly improved under the SmartBus programme and ongoing proposals for rapid‑transit bus lanes. Housing ranges from denser suburban blocks created since the 1970s to sparsely built rural‑residential pockets that retain an “urban forest” feel. Families benefit from five state primary schools, two Catholic schools and Templestowe College, while local clubs such as the Templestowe Dockers and Manningham United FC support an active community lifestyle.
