About Doncaster
Doncaster is the commercial heart of Manningham, a substantial suburb of 25,000 located 14 kilometres northeast of Melbourne's CBD. Though lacking rail, Westfield Doncaster is one of Melbourne's premier shopping destinations, accessible by extensive bus networks. The suburb's Asian-Australian character has grown significantly, with Chinese residents now forming the largest ancestry group.
Westfield Doncaster offers world-class shopping and dining, while the suburb's residential streets feature quality homes on established blocks. Ruffey Lake Park provides substantial recreation, and the surrounding hills offer pleasant outlook. Doncaster attracts established families, particularly Chinese-Australian, who appreciate quality shopping, good schools, and leafy streets without the congestion of closer suburbs. It's aspirational suburban living with excellent retail.
Doncaster falls under postcode 3108 and is governed by Manningham Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Bulleen (North-Eastern Metropolitan) electorate.
