About Springvale
The Springvale Activity Centre is located approximately 29km south-east of Melbourne’s Central Business District. The Activity Centre is strategically located on Springvale Road with excellent access to the Melbourne to Pakenham/Cranbourne railway line. The Centre has a strong Asian business and community focus making it a vibrant hub for retail and commerce. The Centre has a rich assortment of food, groceries, restaurants, and bakeries.
This centre enjoys proximity to primary and secondary schools, boasts excellent transport connectivity, and is witnessing a surge in its apartment market. Recent times have seen transformative changes, including the removal of the Springvale level crossing, leading to a revamped railway station and bus transport interchange, and public realm upgrades to Springvale Road.
With 70% of residents in Springvale born overseas, with major birthplaces being Vietnam, India, Cambodia, China and Malaysia, around a third of tenancies are culturally themed catering to the demographic profile of the area and attracting residents from across the municipality.
In recent years, Council has delivered the Springvale Community Hub, the newly revitalised Springvale Boulevard and endorsed the Springvale Revitalisation Action Plan.
These projects celebrate the area’s rich cultural tapestry and provide a renewed sense of pride, which we hope the Springvale Revitalisation Action Plan (SRAP) will build upon.
