About The Basin

The Basin is a semi rural suburb in the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges, postcode 3154, around 27 km from the CBD. The suburb sits between Boronia and Ferntree Gully and has a low density character with larger blocks, bush gardens, and a community feel distinct from the inner eastern suburbs. The main local shopping strip runs along Colchester Road. The Kokoda Track Memorial Walk, a 96-step staircase commemorating Australian soldiers, is a well known local landmark. The Basin Reserve and surrounding bush areas are well used by walkers throughout the year. The Basin does not have its own train station. Boronia Station on the Belgrave line is the nearest, around 3 km to the north west, and is reachable by bus or a short drive. Bus services on Mountain Highway connect The Basin to Boronia Station and onward to Bayswater. Road access toward the city runs via Mountain Highway to Boronia Road and then onto Eastlink. Taxis are the main option for residents needing early airport departures or late night arrivals, as the last train from the city reaches Boronia before midnight and does not extend further into the foothills. Silver Taxi Melbourne serves The Basin for Melbourne Airport transfers and travel across the south east. Airport fares run from $138 to $151. Call 0412 456 588 to book a car to your door.
