Murrumbeena, Victoria
Murrumbeena (/ˌmʌrəmˈbiːnə/ ⓘ MURR-əm-BEE-nə) is a suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 13 km south-east of Melbourne's Central Business District, located within the City of Glen Eira local government area. Murrumbeena recorded a population of 9,996 at the 2021 census.
Murrumbeena is a small and highly coveted suburban area with extensive parklands and a rich artistic heritage.
It has multiple commercial zones featuring services and cafes, including Murrumbeena Village, near the train station; Poath Road; North Road; and Murrumbeena Road, near the Beauville Estate and Duncan McKinnon Reserve.
The name "Murrumbeena" derives from the Aboriginal word "mirambena." It may have meant "land of frogs", "moss growing on decayed wood" or it may be a derivative from the name of an Aboriginal elder. The evidence for any of these etymologies is uncertain. The name was officially adopted when the Murrumbeena railway station opened in 1879.
The Boon Wurrung, the Indigenous Australians of the Kulin Nation, are recognised as the traditional owners of the land now known as Murrumbeena.
A more in-depth look at Murrumbeena’s history and historic photos can be found at Glen Eira Historical Society's Victorian Collections page and at Murrumbeena 3163.
Heritage protected Murrumbeena Village (1880s) sits on the main street of Neerim Road, the intersection of Murrumbeena Road and the railway station. The oldest building (430 Neerim Road) is a double storey Victorian era building dating from 1889. The village contains modern cafes and dining options (modern Australian, Chinese, fish and chips, Indian, pizza, Thai, Vietnamese); a wine bar; businesses including hairdressers/barbers, florist and curio/op shops; and services including a bank, post office, newsagent and pharmacy. Yoga and dance studios, and a martial arts centre also feature in this area.
Murrumbeena Village is currently undergoing a creative revival following major infrastructure upgrades during 2017–2019. Numerous unique street cafes, evening dining options and a wine bar have popped up alongside small businesses in creative fields which value the suburb's combined ease of access, walkability and village feel.
