Mulgrave is a suburb in Melbourne, Victoria,
Australia, 21 km south-east of Melbourne's
central business district. Its local government
area is the City of Monash. At the 2011 Census,
Mulgrave had a population of 17,647.
Most notably, the suburb gave its name to the
Mulgrave Freeway, which was later renamed to
the Monash Freeway
Greatly reduced in size and presence,
Mulgrave is now best known for "Jacksons
Road", which runs through the eastern part of
the suburb. Jacksons Road is familiar to many
Melburnians due to the Jacksons Road
Interchange with the Monash Freeway. The
Jacksons Road Interchange is a VicRoads
timing point for traffic travelling to/from the
City. Jacksons Road is a common point of
reference for radio news traffic reports when
broadcasting travel times into/from the city
travelling on the Monash Freeway. Other major
points of interest in Mulgrave are the Waverley
Gardens Shopping Centre, the Village Green
Hotel on the south-west corner of Springvale
and Ferntree Gully Roads, the Sunday
Mulgrave Farmers' Market on the corner of
Jacksons and Wellington Roads, and the
former Waverley Park AFL/VFL football ground,
now a redeveloped housing estate.
