Burwood Melbourne Victoria, Shopping Centre & Hotel Accommodation

Burwood’s history stretches as far back as 1879 when the very first settlement was established in the area. Prior to that, the settlement was referred to as Norwood. Over the years, the area developed commercially and spread to what was then known as the Hartwell train station. At the turn of the 20th century, Burwood had a bustling local market garden. The development of the Toorak Road tramline not only opened up the suburb to the rest of Victoria, but it also accelerated residential development in the region.

Today, Burwood is a vibrant suburb whose numerous attractions and amenities make it a delightful place to be. Enjoy shopping at the main Burwood Shopping Centre which is easily accessible at the intersection of Burwood Highway and Warrigal Road. Alternatively, opt for the shopping centre at Bennettswood which is located on the corner of Station Street and the Burwood Highway.
