Overview

Flemington sits just 4 km north‑west of Melbourne’s CBD, sandwiched between the Maribyrnong River and Moonee Ponds Creek. Its vibrant centre on Racecourse Road offers a mix of shops, cafés and the new shopping plaza opposite Newmarket railway station, while twelve parks, a range of schools (three kindergartens, three primary schools, a secondary college and a special‑needs school) support family‑friendly living. The iconic Flemington Racecourse, home of the Melbourne Cup since 1861, adds a lively sporting and cultural backdrop.

The suburb’s housing stock blends historic weatherboard cottages, Victorian and Edwardian terraces, and modest semi‑detached homes with privately owned walk‑up flats from the 1960s‑70s. A public‑housing estate of four 20‑storey towers and low‑rise blocks accounts for 24 % of residences. Residents enjoy strong transport links: Racecourse Road forms part of the Princes Highway, CityLink runs along the eastern edge, and two train stations (Newmarket on the Craigieburn line and Flemington Bridge on the Upfield line) connect to the city. Trams 57 and 59, plus bus routes 404, 472 and 942, provide further easy access. Flemington recorded 7,025 people in the 2021 census.
