Lifestyle
Creek corridor open space, new parks and a local centre planned.
Life here is built around the Merri Creek corridor to the south and west, with new parkland, paths and a future town centre inside the precinct.
What is here
The everyday things that make a new suburb liveable.
Parks and open space
The plan sets out a connected network of local parks, shared paths and green links so most homes sit within a short walk of open space.
Retail
Local shops on Donnybrook Road, and Craigieburn Central to the south-west. A local town centre is planned within the precinct for everyday shopping and services.
Recreation
The Merri Creek corridor and new local parks across Donnybrook, with room for sport, playgrounds and walking and cycling routes as stages are completed.
Family first design
Donnybrook skews young, with a median age of 30 and an average household size of 3.0 people (ABS Census 2021). Streets, parks and lot mixes reflect that.
A town centre to come
Local centres are delivered once enough households are living nearby to support them, so expect the retail offer to build over time.
Everyday practicality
Rail on the eastern boundary and freeway access to the west make weekday routines and weekend trips straightforward from day one.
