Overview

West Footscray, an inner‑city suburb 7 km west of Melbourne’s CBD, blends a principally residential north with a south that mixes homes, shops, light industry and larger factories turned apartments. The lively Barkly Village strip offers a range of multicultural grocers and specialty stores, including a sizeable Indian market and a Chinese Bible Church, while the new West Footscray Community Centre houses a modern library. Families enjoy nearby parks such as Shorten Reserve, home to the Druids Cricket Club and the West Footscray Roosters, plus the YMCA and scout facilities on Barret and Gaudion Reserves, providing plenty of sport and recreation options.

The suburb is well‑served by public transport: two Sunbury‑line stations (West Footscray and Tottenham) and frequent bus routes link the area to Sunshine, Footscray and the city. With a 2021 population of 11,729, a median age of 35 and a median household income of $1,989 per week, West Footscray offers affordable, diverse housing and a vibrant, increasingly gentrified community.
