Overview

Doreen sits 29 km north‑east of Melbourne’s CBD, straddling the City of Whittlesea and the Shire of Nillumbik. With a 2021 census population of 27,122, the suburb enjoys a leafy, hilly setting backed by the Yarra Ranges foothills, the Plenty River and the historic Yan Yean Reservoir. Residents benefit from a community hall, a Country Fire Authority station and a mobile library service, while a range of local schools, including Doreen Primary, Hazel Glen College and Laurimar Primary, cater to families.

Transport is centred on four Dysons bus routes linking Doreen to Mernda and Diamond Creek stations, with the nearby Mernda train station providing rail access on the Mernda line. Housing is split by Yan Yean Road: the eastern side retains a rural character, whereas the western side features suburban estates and the semi‑rural Laurimar development, offering a blend of country‑style living and convenient urban amenities.
