A new city centre in Melbourne’s north is on the horizon but buyers are already enjoying a connected lifestyle.
Just 38km from Melbourne’s CBD, the north is already home to thriving communities in Kalkallo and Beveridge.
At the centre sits Stockland Cloverton, Victoria’s largest developing masterplanned community, which is home to schools, parks, shops, and local services.
That strong base is set to grow even further with the Cloverton Metropolitan Activity Centre (MAC) – a future hub for jobs, retail and services planned by the Victorian Government. Positioned right in the middle of this growth, Cloverton offers residents a connected lifestyle today and exciting opportunities tomorrow.
“The Cloverton MAC will be the urban heart of Melbourne’s northern growth corridor,” says Stockland Development Director James Hawker.
“In the future it will transform Cloverton from a residential community into a regional hub for jobs, retail, education, and health services, and the communities of Kalkallo, Beveridge and Donnybrook will all benefit from this.”
For more information on the opportunities on offer at Cloverton, interested buyers have an exclusive opportunity to tour the community on Saturday 7th February at Stockland’s Open Doors event. Registration is essential via the website.
The future Northern Metropolitan Activity Centre is in the heart of Stockland Cloverton.
A new city for Melbourne's North
With more than 10,000 residents already calling Cloverton home, this area is on the rise as a vibrant and self-sustaining city centre.
The community includes everything residents need for their day-to-day life, like multiple schools, healthcare centres, and everyday shopping at the Kallo Town Centre.
The MAC will add to this, giving buyers even more education, shopping, and employment options.
“The MAC will be thoughtfully integrated into the Stockland Cloverton community and will include major retail precincts, schools, and community facilities around it,” says Mr Hawker.
“This ensures residents benefit from walkable access to jobs and services, boosting the desirability and liveability of the area.”
While it is set to be a city on its own, it will also be a connected one with convenient access to Melbourne’s city centre and beyond.
In the future, the community will enjoy immediate access to the Hume Freeway via the Gunns Gully Interchange, and more is on the way.
A future Cloverton train station and the upgraded Donnybrook Station with a 35-minute express service to the CBD are on the horizon, further connecting Cloverton and the MAC to inner Melbourne.
As part of Melbourne's newest city centre, Stockland Cloverton will be walkable, convenient community.
Sustainable by design
As a truly future-focused community, Cloverton has been designed to deliver lower emissions, less reliance on fossil fuels, and a healthier lifestyle for the community.
Features like energy-efficient housing guidelines, sustainable water management, access to transport options will help achieve this.
“Together, these initiatives demonstrate Stockland’s commitment to environmental leadership in masterplanned communities,” says Mr Hawker.
The neighbourhood also makes green spaces a priority with extensive open spaces, wetlands, and biodiversity corridors.
Once complete, this will include 17 local parks, 46ha of sporting fields, 16ha of passive parks and 80ha of Merri Creek conservation space.
In conjunction with dedicated bike paths and walkable neighbourhoods, the extensive communal spaces not only reduce reliance on cars but also encourages active and connected lifestyles for residents.
From green spaces to energy-efficient housing guidelines, Stockland Cloverton is designed for the future.
The village at its heart
Cloverton’s most recent release and its most desirable pocket is its Midtown precinct, located close to the community’s already existing amenities.
"Midtown is marketed as Cloverton’s premium precinct, close to the future MAC, with future Hume Freeway access, and located on elevated land with views of the Dandenong ranges, Macedon Ranges, and even, in some areas, the city skyline,” says Mr Hawker.
“Midtown combines urban convenience with landscaped parks, appealing to buyers who want both lifestyle and investment upside.”
Within walking distance to the MAC, the precinct is also only set to grow with the future promise of its own parks and wetlands.
There is also a proposed village centre that is planned to include convenient retail spaces, community facilities, a primary school, and a new high-performance community hockey facility.
Midtown will be a lively, independent village within the wider Cloverton community, making it perfect for families and professionals seeking a connected lifestyle.
The Midtown precinct will be its own vibrant village within the wider Stockland Cloverton community.
Why buyers are looking now
What makes Cloverton so special is the fact that it’s already a thriving community, having just celebrated its tenth anniversary earlier this year.
“Cloverton isn’t just about future plans — it already has a strong base of amenities,” says Mr Hawker.
“As an example, a child growing up at Cloverton today can attend childcare, early-learning, primary school, and then high school all within the existing community.”
“This established amenity base means Cloverton residents enjoy a functioning community today, while also benefiting from the future uplift of the future MAC and Midtown precinct.”
With new lots releasing and neighbourhoods like Midtown on the horizon, now is the time to build a new home in the prosperous and vibrant community.
With Stockland Cloverton’s Open Doors Festival on Saturday 7th February, there's never been a better time to learn more about the community.
Interested buyers can hear from the experts on what makes Cloverton and the MAC such an exciting development for Melbourne’s north, they just have to RSVP on the Stockland Open Doors website.
