TOOLERN: MELBOURNE’S BIGGEST SUBURB GETS THE NOD

Features of the suburb include:

  • A range of housing options for families, couples, sole occupants and empty-nesters;
  • At least eight government schools (six primary and two secondary schools) along with kindergartens and community care facilities;
  • Four neighbourhood shopping centres featuring supermarkets and local services to ensure the daily needs of locals are met, as well as a number of smaller shopping centres to be located within residential areas;
  • A major activity centre combining a future train station and bus interchange with a range of retail, civic, employment, residential and educational uses to provide Toolern with a commercial and civic heart;
  • Pit and pipe to each residence in anticipation of the National Broadband Network;
  • An extensive network of landscaped parks and recreation areas, shared paths, sporting facilities and playgrounds; and
  • A new regional park to establish a green heart for the Shire of Melton and provide large recreation and parkland area.


comment:  Food for thought... some expansion has its rewards.
