About Glen Waverley
Glen Waverley is Melbourne's premier Asian-Australian suburb, a prosperous community of 42,000 located 20 kilometres southeast of the CBD in Monash. The Glen Waverley line terminus provides direct city access, while the suburb has transformed into a vibrant multicultural centre renowned for education and food. High-achieving schools, particularly Glen Waverley Secondary College, draw families from across Melbourne.
The Kingsway and The Glen shopping precinct offers some of Melbourne's best Asian dining, from Cantonese to Korean to Vietnamese. Education is paramount here—tutoring centres, music schools, and high-achieving students define the culture. The community attracts aspirational families, predominantly Chinese-Australian, who prioritise schooling and are willing to pay premium prices for access to quality education. It's Melbourne's most successful example of Asian-Australian suburban culture.
Glen Waverley falls under postcode 3150 and is governed by Monash Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Glen Waverley (North-Eastern Metropolitan) electorate.
