Hawksburn to Malvern and Toorak Village

Planning for thriving communities

The Train and Tram Zone Activity Centres Program is focused on locating more homes close to train stations and tram lines that have the highest capacity, now and into the future.

Plans for the Hawksburn to Malvern and Toorak Village centres have been finalised and approved by the Minister for Planning, which means planning changes are now in place.

Located along or near the Frankston train line Hawksburn, Toorak, Armadale and Malvern stations and Toorak Village (route 58 tram) are in prime locations that blend natural beauty with a variety of activities and services.

This area of Melbourne is within easy reach of the CBD, known for its leading schools, high-end shops, gourmet restaurants, quality open spaces and easy transport connections.

Each centre sits within an already established suburban area, rich in amenity - parks, shops, schools, and healthcare services are all within easy reach. These qualities make the neighbourhoods convenient and highly liveable.
