Sanctuary Lakes suburb profile

Sanctuary Lakes is a waterside residential suburb in Melbourne's west centred on an artificial lake and a golf course, with streets that curve around foreshore reserves and waterfront homes. It has a planned, family-oriented feel with modern detached houses, lakefront townhouses and generous open space, and many properties back onto walking trails and small wetlands. Residents use a local shopping precinct, leisure facilities and nearby schools, while road connections and public transport link to the coast and other western suburbs. The suburb’s enduring character is its lakefront promenades, green corridors and the fairways that shape the neighbourhood.
