About Springvale

Springvale is a suburban centre in Melbourne's southeast, within the City of Greater Dandenong approximately 24 kilometres from the city. The 3171 postcode covers a compact residential and commercial area bordered by Noble Park to the east, Clayton to the west, and Springvale South to the south.

The suburb's defining character is its cultural diversity, particularly the strong Vietnamese and Chinese communities that have shaped Springvale's food, retail, and community life since the 1970s and 1980s. Buckingham Avenue and the Springvale Market are widely regarded as Melbourne's most accessible and authentic Asian food and produce precinct. Weekend crowds are substantial, with visitors arriving from across the metropolitan area.

Springvale Station provides Cranbourne line rail access, and bus routes connect the suburb to Dandenong, Oakleigh, Clayton, and beyond. The suburb has a compact commercial core surrounded by modest residential streets, with good access to the Monash Freeway via Clayton Road.

Springvale is also known for its high concentration of funeral service businesses, a legacy of the suburb's historical role as a regional service centre. Springvale Memorial Park is one of Victoria's largest cemetery and crematorium facilities, drawing families from across Melbourne for memorial services.

Springvale is one of Melbourne’s most vibrant multicultural suburbs, located in the City of Greater Dandenong about 24 kilometres southeast of the CBD. Silver Taxi Melbourne covers the full 3171 postcode around the clock, including the busy market area, Springvale Station, and the quieter residential streets to the east and south. Our fares run on the meter and there is no surge pricing at any hour.
