Sunbury is a satellite city located just off the Calder Freeway, north-west of Melbourne and on the banks of Jacksons Creek. The city has undergone immense growth in the last 10 years or so due to its close proximity with Melbourne, easy access via the Calder Freeway and offering a somewhat country lifestyle. The city is located in its own valley formed by Mt Holden and Redstone Hill and has a unique mix of old and present day town centres with a large shopping centre matched by several streets fronted with traditional specialty shops.
