My suburb was promised a train station in the '80s. We're still waiting
Opinion pieces from local writers exploring their suburb's cliches and realities and how it has changed in the past 20 years. See all 53 stories. By the time my family first moved to my suburb, it was already going through a transformation. What had been a big chunk of farmland and bushland 27 kilometres east of the CBD was by 1985 in the process of being developed into a new south-eastern hub. A train station and other transport infrastructure that would make it accessible would, we were told, come soon. It was for many years off the edge of the map for most Melburnians. When asked where I lived, you could be certain there would be a follow-up question: 'Where's that?' I'd cycle through its close neighbours – Scoresby, Wantirna, or Ferntree Gully – until eventually receiving an expression of recognition. Rowville has since cast off its obscurity and developed into a quite sought-after suburb for those who are not wealthy enough to afford closer to the city, or who would prefer to spend their couple of million on a spacious McMansion than settle for a modest weatherboard in one of the more glamorous postcodes. One of the largest suburbs in Melbourne's south-east, it now boasts nearly 34,000 souls, (putting it in Australia's top 30 suburbs by population), with shopping centres, a mega pub, enough fast-food outlets to distress a nutritionist and a decent smattering of light industry providing employment for those not willing to take on the notorious Monash Car Park – sorry, freeway – to the city. Strangely, most of the milk bars have survived. Today's Rowville is a microcosm of the success of Australian multiculturalism. On our leafy close, folk from Chinese, Sri Lankan, Indian, and Anglo-Saxon origins live in quiet harmony, with most getting together for our annual street party. There are, like us, a couple of residents who have been here since the birth of our modest 40-year-old street and have watched house prices move from the $70,000s to over a million dollars, extensions and beautifications notwithstanding. Despite its transformation, Rowville has kept the bucolic ambience of its farmland days. It was named after 19th-century wool merchant Frederick Row, and his family's magnificent Stamford House Homestead, built in 1882, has been beautifully restored after years of neglect. Now a fine restaurant, the historic building set on six acres of grounds is once again a destination. Historic estates aside, it is difficult, given the range of housing available in Rowville – from grand ranch-style homes on acre blocks, to one-bed units on subdivided blocks – to give the suburb a class label. It is egalitarian with a strong hint of an aspiration, a trait that has helped make the Aston electorate a conservative stronghold for many years. Perhaps the significant population of self-employed tradies and small business owners has something to do with it – one does not need census data to note the expensive late-model utilities and vans parked in local driveways. However, we have seen a change. With the abrupt departure of federal MP Alan Tudge in 2023, Labor's Mary Doyle has been handed the – if not poisoned, then certainly tainted – chalice of delivering that long-awaited railway station to Rowvillians.

‘Obsessed': Top burger chain launches into Coles
It's a great day for Aussie burger fans, as Grill'd officially launches its burger patties in supermarkets. Partnering with Coles, the well-known burger chain has introduced its popular patties into 850 Coles stores nationwide from today, August 6. The first option available is the Signature Beef Burgers 2-pack, made from premium Aussie beef and priced at $8, which breaks down to $4 per serve. For those wanting something a bit more special, there are the Premium Wagyu Burgers with Caramelised Onion 2-pack, featuring juicy wagyu with a sweet twist, available for $10 or $5 per serve. The Signature Beef Burgers 4-pack offers a cost-effective choice, perfect for families, priced at $12.50 or $3.15 per serve, though this pack is only available in select stores. The burgers will be located in the meat section, and for the first four weeks, they'll be $1 off the regular price. Grill'd Founder and Managing Director, Simon Crowe, said he's 'always had interest' in expanding into supermarkets and there has been demand for a while. 'The timing and opportunity had to be right for both Grill'd and Coles. Not all our customers live close to a Grill'd restaurant and they ask me often, 'Can you launch a restaurant in my suburb?'' he tells 'Partnering with Coles has allowed us to take the next big step in our mission to make our healthy, delicious burgers more accessible to all Australians.' Coles' research shows that over half of Aussies say they're interested in recreating their own version of restaurant or takeaway food at home. Mr Crowe explains that the decision to launch into Coles was driven more by this increase in interest for 'fakeaway' rather than cost-of-living pressures. 'We actually see our restaurant sales increase in tougher times, so it's not a cost-of-living issue,' he says. 'However, we know Australians are after both options; ways to enjoy their favourite restaurant flavours at home – whether for convenience or familiarity – and also dining out to experience that unique restaurant vibe, which we absolutely prioritise.' Foodies online have already started buzzing about the launch. After Coles' TikTok teased the release on Tuesday, comments flooded in from people eager to try the burgers. 'OBSESSED with this collab, thank you!' said one. 'Yum,' said another, while one user called the move 'iconic'.
