About Diamond Creek
Diamond Creek is a leafy outer suburb 25 kilometres northeast of Melbourne, nestled in the Nillumbik Green Wedge at the gateway to the Yarra Valley. With around 12,000 residents, it maintains a semi-rural character despite metropolitan proximity. The Hurstbridge line provides city access, while the surrounding bushland and Diamond Creek itself define the suburb's natural appeal.
Life here centres on nature and community—the Diamond Creek Trail winds through bushland, local sporting clubs thrive, and the village atmosphere of Main Hurstbridge Road provides cafes and small shops. The community attracts families seeking space, bushland access, and a slower pace while maintaining city connectivity. It's outer Melbourne at its most naturally beautiful.
Diamond Creek falls under postcode 3089 and is governed by Nillumbik Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Eltham (North-Eastern Metropolitan) electorate.
