Burwood East is a suburb of Melbourne,
Victoria, Australia, located 17 km east of
Melbourne's Central Business District. Its local
government area is the City of Whitehorse. At
the 2011 Census, Burwood East had a
population of 10,141.

Burwood East is bounded by Springvale Road to
the east, Middleborough Road to the west, Eley
Road and Hawthorn Road to the north and
Highbury Road to the south.

Burwood East is notable as the site of the first
Kmart department store in Australia. The Kmart
Plaza store opened in 1969, at the intersection
of Burwood Road (now Highway) and Blackburn
Road. It was the first 24-hour Kmart store and
proved very popular with locals, frustrated with
the limited shopping hours on offer at the time.
Burwood East Kmart is the second largest in
Australia, with a gross leasable area of 8,444
m2 (90,890 sq ft).

The Tally Ho Business Park, on the corner of
Burwood Highway and Springvale Road, hosts
the headquarters of many corporations and
organisations, including the Country Fire
Authority and a regional headquarters of
VicRoads and Yokogawa. The site of the Tally Ho
Business Park and its surrounds was previously
occupied by the Tally Ho Boys' Home, which
was established on land provided at a reduced
price to the Methodist Church by Abel Hoadley,
the inventor of the Violet Crumble chocolate
bar. The Violet Crumble was supposedly
manufactured in a Cottage where the ABC now
stands.

On the north side of Burwood Highway, there
are additional business buildings including a HP
building, expanding the business park beyond
the boundary of the original Tally Ho Boys'
Home.

Vision Drive (located adjacent to the Tally Ho
Business Park) is the current location of World
Vision Australia's National Office, The GPT
Group and the National Archives of Australia
(Melbourne Repository).
