If You Moved To Mill Park Tomorrow, What Would You Need To Know?

In today’s episode of Voice of Mill Park, I share a practical, on‑the-ground guide for anyone thinking of moving to Mill Park and surrounds.Drawing on seven years as a local and dad, I walk through how to approach school choices, why it pays to visit campuses and talk with principals and school councils, and what to expect from local parks and playgrounds—great for older kids, but we really need more shade and better facilities for little ones.I also cover everyday living: where to shop (Stables, Rivergum, Plenty Valley, Uni Hill), eat and grab a coffee, plus what getting around looks like via Plenty Road, Childs Road, buses and the tram terminus at Bundoora.We chat community life—sport at Kellynack Reserve, Mill Park Leisure Centre, local running and riding options around Plenty Gorge, and events at Mill Park Library—and why Mill Park gives back what you put into it.I touch on safety and the goal of building a tighter neighbourhood network, from first-aid readiness to looking out for one another.Finally, I explain the show’s value‑for‑value approach and invite you to help shape this growing local resource at millpark.blog and by emailing [email protected].
