About Ringwood

Ringwood is the commercial hub of Melbourne's outer east, a significant centre of 19,100 in Maroondah, 24 kilometres from the CBD. The Belgrave and Lilydale lines serve Ringwood station, while Eastland shopping centre has developed into a destination-quality retail and entertainment precinct. The suburb marks the transition to the hills and valleys beyond.

The Ringwood Lake and surrounding parklands provide recreation. Ringwood attracts families and professionals seeking outer-eastern living with train access and major retail, using it as a base for exploring the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges.
