Lynbrook is a picturesque estate set amongst a stand of
300-year-old river red gums. Lynbrook is a community that
delivers numerous housing choices. It is a very popular up and coming suburb South East of
Melbourne, approximately 40km from the city. The main access to
the city is by the Monash Freeway to the North, and the South
Gippsland Hwy from the South.
Lynbrook is a relatively new suburb and has taken over part of
Lyndhurst. It was developed in 1994 and it is expanding rapidly.
In 2005 there were 1,750 households, approximately 5,200
residents and a total area of 1.85 square kilometres.
The first primary school opened in January 2005 with an
initial enrolment of 175 students. In 2008 they now have 550
students and expect this to peak over the next 5 years. A site
has been set aside for a Catholic primary school to be built in
the future. A maternal and child health centre was constructed
by Casey Council and opened in early 2006. This centre also
includes a pre-school kindergarten for the growing number of
children in the area. Just recently opened on Harris Street is
the ABC Childcare Centre.
Lynbrook is surrounded by parkland the largest being the
Banjo Paterson Park, a large recreation reserve, surrounding a
lake. It has many paths for walking and cycling, a barbecue
area, a large children's playground, open spaces and a football
/ cricket oval. The oval is home to the "Lynbrook Lakers"
cricket team which fields a number of adult and children's
cricket teams in the local league. However, they are soon to
join forces with Lynbrook Primary School who are having a new
oval developed along with changing facilities.
Transport
Plans are currently underway to open a new train station in
Lynbrook between 2011 – 2016.
The new station will feature:
• a bus interchange and taxi rank
• long-term car parking on both sides of the railway line plus
short-term (kiss and ride) parking. Initially, approximately 250
spaces will be available with scope to expand the car parking as
demand increases
• two 160 metre long platforms on either side of the railway
lines and including tactile tiles and security fencing along the
length of the platforms
• passenger shelters and seating
• ticket machines
• timetable and passenger information displays
• closed circuit camera surveillance and emergency telephones
• covered walkways, ramps and stairs
• bicycle facilities.
Pedestrian and bicycle access to the platforms will be provided
via the existing underpass.
Until then the nearest train station is at Merinda Park 4km
away.
Lynbrook has two bus stops one on Lynbrook Boulevard and the
other on Henry Lawson Drive.
