About Thornhill Park
Thornhill Park is a rapidly growing residential suburb in Melbourne's western growth corridor, located approximately 40 kilometres north-west of the Melbourne CBD in the Melton local government area. Gazetted in recent years as part of Melbourne's expanding urban fringe, the suburb has seen strong population growth as modern housing estates attract young families and first-home buyers seeking affordable land and new-build homes. With a population of around 3,066 and continuing to grow, Thornhill Park is part of one of Victoria's fastest-expanding communities.
The suburb is part of the broader Thornhill Park estate development, featuring contemporary streetscapes, local parks, walking and cycling paths, and community open space designed for growing families. Proximity to the Melton township provides access to supermarkets, schools, medical centres, and community facilities. Melton Station on the regional Ballarat rail line offers connections to Melbourne CBD, though most residents rely on private vehicles for daily commuting. Affordable housing prices and modern infrastructure make Thornhill Park especially popular with young families and first-home buyers seeking value on Melbourne's western fringe.
Thornhill Park falls under postcode 3335 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Sydenham (Western Metropolitan) electorate.
