Suburb Property Profile: Cobblebank, VIC 3338
Located approximately 33–40km west of Melbourne's CBD, Cobblebank sits within the City of Melton. Gazetted in 2017 as part of an eleven-suburb naming proposal by council, Cobblebank is set to become the heart of the Cobblebank Metropolitan Activity Centre — a future major regional centre planned to serve a local population of up to 160,000 people over the coming decades. Here's our comprehensive guide to the area.
Location Demographics
The population of Cobblebank sits at 3,601 according to the 2021 Census, reflecting the suburb's early stage of a long-term growth plan — a portion of the area formerly counted under the Cobblebank name was carved into the newly gazetted Strathtulloh in 2017, which explains the shift in reported figures around that time. Households are primarily couples with children, appealing strongly to young professionals and first-home buyers.
Travel & Infrastructure
Cobblebank Station, opened in January 2021 as part of the Ballarat Line Upgrade, gives residents a direct rail link to Melbourne's Southern Cross Station and adds 225 extra weekly services to the network, helping take pressure off nearby Melton Station. The Western Freeway provides immediate vehicular access for those driving, with the Western BACE business park nearby for local employment.
Shopping
Cobblebank Village Shopping Centre, just south of the train station, is anchored by a Coles supermarket alongside 16 specialty stores, giving residents a genuine everyday retail hub within walking distance of the station.
Schools & Recreation
Strathtulloh Primary School and the new St Francis Catholic College Cobblebank Campus give families a solid choice of local schooling, reflecting the suburb's substantial family demographic.
Local Amenities
The Cobblebank Indoor Stadium, a $31 million multi-purpose facility, features six indoor courts catering to basketball, netball, badminton, table tennis, volleyball and futsal, alongside school curriculum and community health and wellness programs. A planned $900 million–$1 billion New Melton Hospital, just 1.5km from the suburb's newer estates and confirmed for the corner of Ferris and Bridge Roads, is set to bring a 24-hour emergency department and maternity and children's services to the area by 2029, cementing Cobblebank's future as a major health, retail and civic hub for Melbourne's west.
