About Springvale
Springvale is Melbourne's most intensely Asian suburb, a multicultural community of 22,200 in Greater Dandenong, 23 kilometres southeast of the CBD. Springvale station on the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines provides city access, while Springvale Road offers one of Melbourne's most authentic Asian shopping experiences. The Vietnamese community established here from the 1970s has created a genuine cultural precinct.
Springvale's Vietnamese, Chinese, and broader Asian dining scene rivals any in Australia—authentic, affordable, and endlessly varied. The markets and grocers provide ingredients impossible to find elsewhere, while the community maintains strong cultural traditions. Springvale attracts foodies, Asian-Australian families, and adventurous residents who value authenticity over aesthetics in Melbourne's most vibrant Asian cultural precinct.
Springvale falls under postcode 3171 and is governed by Greater Dandenong Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Mulgrave (South-Eastern Metropolitan) electorate.
