Overview

Upwey sits 33 km east of Melbourne’s CBD within the Shire of Yarra Ranges and recorded a population of 6,818 at the 2021 census. The suburb blends leafy, hilly surroundings with a vibrant village centre along Main Street, where small cafés, restaurants, a music shop, health‑care providers and the historic Bendigo Community Bank create a lively, “hipster” atmosphere. Recent demographic change has seen many baby‑boomers downsizing to modest blocks while younger families move in, giving the housing mix a blend of established homes and newer, low‑maintenance properties.

Transport is straightforward: Upwey railway station on the Belgrave line adjoins Main Street, and bus routes 693 and 699 connect the area to Belgrave, Oakleigh and neighbouring suburbs. Residents enjoy easy access to the Ringwood‑Belgrave Rail Trail and a network of public reserves, including Glenfern Valley Bushlands, Upwey Recreational Reserve and the Burrinja Cultural Centre, plus two preschools, two primary schools and Upwey High School.
