Overview

Doncaster East sits 20 km east of Melbourne’s CBD on rolling hills between Koonung and Mullum Mullum Creeks, covering 11.4 km². With a 2021 Census population of 30,926, the suburb blends mature 1960‑70s homes, now often refurbished as multi‑tenant units, with newer estates near The Pines Shopping Centre, Stockland The Pines, and local precincts such as Donburn Shops and Tunstall Square. Residents enjoy abundant green spaces, from Mullum Mullum Creek Linear Park and Deep Creek Reserve to Milgate Park Estate, while a strong Chinese community supports a variety of well‑reviewed Chinese restaurants and diverse places of worship. Quality schools, including East Doncaster Secondary College, multiple primary schools, and Catholic options, cater to families across the area.

Public transport relies on regular bus services, but most commuters use cars via the Eastern Freeway, Reynolds Road, and the north‑south Blackburn and Springvale Roads. The 2008 EastLink tollway enhances south‑eastern connectivity, and major thoroughfares such as George, King and Victoria Streets provide easy access to local shops and recreational facilities. This mix of convenient road links, plentiful amenities and leafy reserves makes Doncaster East a well‑rounded, family‑friendly suburb.
