Mount Melville suburb profile

Mount Melville is a hillside suburb of Albany centred on the granite peak of Mount Melville and its reserve, a local landmark with bushwalking trails and a lookout that frames views across Princess Royal Harbour and the city. Streets slope down from the hill and are lined with a mix of modest older cottages and more recently built homes, many taking advantage of elevated outlooks. Residents value ready access to native bushland and outdoor recreation while still being a short drive from Albany's shops, waterfront and services, giving the suburb a quietly residential, nature-oriented character.
