Hi Cherry Pro, I dont keep a constant eye on this forum, and only just read your posts. I live in Melton and also have an IP here, so here's my two cents worth (copied from a post i made on the Melton thread earlier this year): Ned from Barry Plant was quite casual and offered his...

Haven't been watching SS for a little while, but i can add some comment to this discussion about Melton PM's. i recently settled on an IP in Melton Sth and spoke to the following PMs before deciding which one: Ned from Barry Plant was quite casual and offered his services at 6.6% - gave us...

some interesting news, front page local paper: REIV figures show Melton township median price rise 10% Sept quarter now $214K (up from $193K) 'Melbournes middle and outer suburbs showed greater increases in value than its inner suburbs' - Enzo Raimondo REIV However, shire prices remained...

Personally, i would rate Darlingsford as one of the premier addresses in Melton. There is restricted access, and when it opened they had their own security (i dont know if this still applies). There is a restored historical barn, and a small lake. The site for a proposed botanical garden is...

Note to potential buyers: properties selling VERY quickly at present (esp at lower $$$). I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time and snapped up a bargain from a vendor in dire straits, 178K, expect to rent $195 min. Missed several properties to remote buyers, as i booked...

I've used Specialised Heating & Cooling (03) 9743 7633 to install ducted heating & cooling, and also to instal a split and have found them to be reliable, and competitive. Most popular local firm for this type of work. Also a quick update on Melton happenings: 2nd McDonalds just opened, and...

*I'll bet* this address is in the Thoroughbred Estate? :D "Light Fingers" was a small, but gutsy thoroughbred mare that won the 1965 Melbourne Cup..Her sire was: "Le Filou" (pickpocket in French), her dam: "Cuddlesome". Yes, you are correct, the name is a horsey reference. Melton...

i've bought doors from The Door Store in Moorabbin much cheaper than anywhere else i tried. also will make doors to size v reasonable price. Bit of a hike depending where you are, but i found it worthwhile and have recommended to others who also have had good result. also, actually supplied...

Sorry Peter 14.7, but your data is incorrect. Please see http://www.id.com.au/melton/forecastid/default.asp?id=116&pg=1 for accurate figures on 2006 and projections for 2021. Actual figures for Melton township are 37,132 (2006) projected 2021 - 57,845 this is a very good site (by the...

Hi Martin, Yes, your IP is quite close, technically it could be called Melton or Melton East. If you are familiar with Melton Hwy (aka Melton/Keilor Rd and the main road betw Melton & Keilor) - this is v close to your IP. This road changes its name to Ferris Rd when it reaches Wstn Hwy. If...

Happy to supply local knowledge, some more tips: I agree with confidence in earlier posts about the Harness Racing Centre, and can confirm this construction is booming ahead, at all hours and days of the week. Advance publicity announces largest of its type in Aust (and poss sth hemisph)...

I live in Melton Sth myself and have seen some values decline as people sell and houses become rentals; this applies Melton overall. i would still buy in Sth, but i would lstill look at the immediate area and have a good PM. a house 2 doors from me just sold days ago - 4br 2bath, 215K, approx...

As a Melton long term local, i find all your posts v interesting as outsider comments. Some clarifications: Deer Park bypass will have HUGE impact on commuters - i can personally sit on that stretch of highway near Caroline Springs for 30 mins Melton predominently commuters - rail service...
