About Keilor Downs
Keilor Downs is an established residential suburb in Melbourne's north-west, approximately 20 kilometres from the CBD, falling within the City of Brimbank local government area. The 2021 Census recorded 9,857 residents — a slight decline of 1.4% from 9,995 in 2016 — reflecting the suburb's mature, settled character rather than rapid greenfield growth. With a median taxable income of around $48,762 per year, the suburb attracts working families, blue-collar professionals, and long-term owner-occupiers who value its proximity to the Western Ring Road and its established retail and community infrastructure.
Keilor Downs Plaza on Taylors Road is the suburb's commercial hub, anchored by a Coles supermarket and a range of specialty retailers and services that meet most everyday needs locally. The suburb is well-served educationally, with Keilor Downs College, Keilor Views Primary School, Taylors Lakes Primary School, and the independent Overnewton Anglican Community College all within the postcode area. Nearby Organ Pipes National Park offers a striking natural attraction, while the Western Ring Road and the Sunbury train line at nearby Keilor Plains station provide practical transport connections to Melbourne's CBD and outer suburbs.
Keilor Downs falls under postcode 3038 and is governed by Brimbank Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the St Albans (Western Metropolitan) electorate.
