City of Monash

Monash is a local government area in Melbourne's southeastern suburbs, encompassing both residential neighborhoods and business hubs spread across the region. The area includes numerous suburbs connected by major roads and public transportation networks.

The area came into being in 1994 when two separate local government territories merged to form a new administrative unit. This consolidation created the governance structure that exists today.

The area is shaped by residents from many backgrounds, particularly from Asia, who influence local business and community life. This diversity shows itself throughout the streets, with different languages and traditions woven into everyday life.

Glen Waverley serves as the administrative hub and is easily accessible by train and bus. The area is straightforward to navigate, with clear connections to other parts of Melbourne.

The area hosts several specialized hospitals including a children's hospital and a heart hospital, which serve as major medical centers for the region. These facilities make it a significant healthcare hub in greater Melbourne.
