}}Ashburton is an affluent suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, {{convert|12|km|abbr=on}} southeast of Melbourne's Central Business District.[2] Its local government area is the City of Boroondara. At the {{CensusAU|2016}}, Ashburton had a population of 7,751.[1]

Ashburton is renowned for its expansive parklands, bike trails, large leafy green blocks, range of excellent primary schools, proximity to private schools, access to recreational facilities, public transport and the vibrant High Street shopping strip.{{citation needed|date=July 2016}}

History

The rail line was electrified in 1924, and the Ashburton Post Office opened on 15 December 1927. Another office was opened at Solway (in the south-west of the suburb) and operated from 1954 until 1978.[3]

Today

Ashburton features a retail area around High Street, has two train stations (Ashburton and Alamein) and contains a branch of the Boroondara Library.

The suburb contains student housing (operated by the Ashburton Baptist Church) due to its proximity to the Holmesglen Institute of TAFE, Monash University (Caulfield and Clayton campuses), Deakin University (Burwood campus) and Swinburne University (Hawthorn campus). The Ashburton Baptist, Catholic and Anglican Churches also run the Ashburton Asylum Seeker Support Group.{{citation needed|date=August 2009}}
