Bentleigh East
Bentleigh East is a suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 14 km (8.7 mi) south-east of Melbourne's Central Business District, located within the City of Glen Eira local government area. Bentleigh East recorded a population of 30,159 at the 2021 census.
The suburb, like its neighbour Bentleigh, was named after the infamous Victorian politician Thomas Bent. Part of East Bentleigh was inside the original grant of land bought by English farmer and brewer, Henry Dendy, in 1841. He bought 5,120 acres (20.7 km2) which was bounded on the west by Port Phillip Bay, then North Road, East Boundary Road and South Road.
East Bentleigh police station closed in the early 1990s. The building no longer remains standing on the corner of East Boundary Road and Omeo Court, near Centre Road (opposite the hotel).
The East Village urban renewal plan (for the 25-hectare industrial/commercial site on the corner of East Boundary Road and North Road) will transition the site into a bustling hub of innovative jobs (some existing Virginia park businesses will remain), diverse housing, schools, shopping/dining and open space.
In the 2016 census, there were 27,635 people in Bentleigh East. 62.5% of residents were born in Australia.
Larger than its namesake Bentleigh (and featuring a completely unrelated postcode), East Bentleigh is 14 km south-east from Melbourne's Central Business District. Its boundaries form a square shape, which is to the west by Tucker Road, to the north by North Road, to the east by Warrigal Road and to the south by South Road. It is bisected by Centre Road east-west and East Boundary Road north-south. The area around Mackie Road is the locality of Coatesville. East Bentleigh generally enjoys smooth road surfaces.
Government primary schools within Bentleigh East include Valkstone Primary School, Coatesville Primary School, Tucker Road Primary School and East Bentleigh Primary School.
McKinnon Secondary College (New Campus), at the Virginia Park site, is the school's Year 8/9 campus, with some Year 7 programs. It was scheduled to take its first students in 2022.
