Chirnside Park is a suburb in Melbourne,
Victoria, Australia, 33 km north-east from
Melbourne's central business district. Its local
government area is the Shire of Yarra Ranges.
At the 2006 Census, Chirnside Park had a
population of 9092. Nominally a suburb,
Chirnside Park is a satellite community of
Lilydale. Thus the services that cannot be met in
the nearby shopping complex are found
elsewhere. The residential area of Chirnside
Park was originally structured around the large
18-hole golf course, although this has now
been closed and a new estate known as
Cloverlea has commenced construction, with
dwellings on the North Eastern corner now
completed. Further residential development
exists to the west and north. Some new medical
facilities have arrived recently. Chirnside Park
Family Clinic is one of them.

In area, however, most of the 'suburb' still
retains a rural flavour, extending well into the
Yarra Valley to the north, with commercial
wineries, orchards and livestock farming, as
well
as large area residential estates. The Heritage
Golf and Country Club, designed by Jack
Nicklaus, also nestles in the northwest corner of
the suburb directly on the Yarra River.
