Ashburton sits 12km south-east of Melbourne's CBD in the City of Boroondara. Around 7,952 people call this postwar suburb home, and its street layout carries more history than most removalists ever mention to their customers.

Why Ashburton Got Its Name

Ashburton's railway station started out as Norwood. In 1890, local councillor E. Dillon pushed for the name Ashburton, after Ashburton Terrace in Cork, Ireland, where he had lived. The suburb took its name from the station, not the other way around. That station sat on the old Outer Circle railway line. Most of the line closed within a few years, and by 1895 the section past Ashburton to Oakleigh had shut for good, leaving only a short stretch in use.

High Street: The Shopping Strip That Outlasted Chadstone

Ashburton's High Street shops fought off real competition. When Myer opened at Chadstone in 1960, local traders upgraded their shopfronts, added parking, and widened their range to compete. It worked. Ashburton kept a thriving strip while nearby shopping centres lost ground to Chadstone. High Street remains the commercial centre of the suburb today, and our removalists schedule Ashburton jobs around its peak traffic hours.

Ashburton and Ashwood: One Postcode, Two Identities

Ashburton shares postcode 3147 with neighbouring Ashwood, a name built by blending "Ashburton" and "Burwood." In 1998, residents on four Ashburton streets petitioned to rename their section Glen Iris, a name seen as more desirable at the time. That history still shapes the property mix today: older established homes sit next to pockets that have shifted identity more than once.

Postwar Homes Along Gardiners Creek

Most of Ashburton's housing dates to the postwar era. The Housing Commission built these homes after the railway extended to the new Alamein estate in 1948, a pocket that still carries wartime street names like Victory Boulevard and Tobruk Road. These properties often hold established gardens and original fittings. Our furniture movers treat that kind of furniture with the care it needs, not a rushed pack-and-go job.
