Overview

Sunshine, 12 km west of Melbourne’s CBD, is a low‑density residential suburb of 9,445 people (2021 Census). The area blends period and post‑war homes with newer housing on larger blocks, creating a varied streetscape. A bustling retail hub anchors the suburb, featuring the Sunshine Plaza, Sunshine Marketplace and a Village 20 Sunshine Megaplex cinema, while local schools such as Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception and Sunshine Primary serve families. Its multicultural fabric is evident in the many Vietnamese cafés, Maltese banking branch and the Hue Quang Buddhist temple that sit alongside long‑standing community facilities.

Transport is a strong point: Sunshine railway station is a premium Metro and V/Line interchange linking Ballarat, Bendigo and Geelong lines, complemented by a major bus interchange next door. The suburb’s walkability earned it a place among Melbourne’s 20 most walkable middle‑suburbs in 2018, and cyclists enjoy the Kororoit Creek Trail and the support of BrimBUG. Together, these assets support a vibrant lifestyle with easy access to the wider city.
