About Braeside

Braeside is a suburb in Melbourne's south east at postcode 3195 within the City of Kingston. It is primarily industrial and light commercial in character, with significant warehousing, manufacturing, and trade businesses along Boundary Road, Governor Road, and South Road. Residential pockets exist on the eastern fringe of the suburb near Mordialloc.

Moorabbin Airport sits on the suburb's northern edge along Center Dandenong Road. It is one of Australia's busiest general aviation airports, handling training flights, charter operations, and light aircraft traffic. It is distinct from Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) and handles no commercial airline services.

Braeside is not served by a train station. The nearest rail access is at Mordialloc Station on the Frankston line or Cheltenham Station to the west. Bus services run through the suburb but are infrequent outside of business hours, making taxi and rideshare the primary after hours transport options.
