Oakleigh, Administrative district in City of Monash, Australia
Oakleigh is a suburb in Victoria combining residential neighborhoods with commercial areas located southeast of Melbourne's center. The district features a mix of houses, shopping precincts, and local services spread across interconnected streets and thoroughfares.
The former City of Oakleigh merged with the City of Monash in 1994 during a major restructuring of local government in Victoria. This administrative change was part of a broader state government program to reorganize municipal administration.
Greek influences shape the dining and shopping life, particularly around Eaton Mall, which functions as a community gathering place where locals and visitors regularly meet. The area reflects generations of settlement through its everyday commercial spaces and gathering habits.
The area connects to Melbourne through Oakleigh railway station and several bus routes running along major roads. Checking the location of these transport hubs helps you plan the best route for exploring the neighborhood.
The Museum of Australian Photography is located here and houses a significant collection documenting the history of Australian photography. This collection traces how the medium has evolved over different periods.
