Overview

Sunbury sits 38 km north‑west of Melbourne’s CBD within the City of Hume and recorded a population of 38,851 at the 2021 census. The town blends a historic working‑class character, linked to nearby manufacturing and the Melbourne Airport (17.5 km away), with newer housing estates that provide more affordable homes for families and commuters seeking a quieter lifestyle on the fringe of Greater Melbourne.

Transport is well served: Sunbury railway station offers Metro services on the Sunbury line (electrified in 2012) and hourly V/Line trains to Bendigo, while ten local bus routes connect the township to Diggers Rest, Melbourne Airport and surrounding suburbs. Families benefit from a range of schools, including Sunbury Primary, Killara and Kismet Park primary schools and Sunbury Downs College, while nearby Jacksons Creek Regional Parklands and the historic Emu Bottom Homestead provide recreational space. A strong sporting culture, from football to cricket and golf, rounds out the community’s amenities.
