A (very) brief history of the suburb Chadstone!
Chadstone was an early postwar suburb bounded by Belgrave Road, Dandenong Road, Warrigal Road and Gardiners Creek. Before being named Chadstone it was known as Carnegie North. Because of changes to postcode boundaries ‘Chadstone’ doubled in area by extension east of Warrigal Road to Huntingdale Road by the early 1970s. By the 1990s the Chadstone postcode was restricted to east of Warrigal Road, absorbing areas previously better known as Holmesglen and Jordanville.
The railway line was extended along Chadstone’s northern edge in 1929-30, and there was land subdivision on its western side (near where the unsuccessful Outer Circle Railway had run), and in the south-eastern corner near the original Oakleigh township. In the middle of all this, however, the Convent of the Good Shepherd (1883) held extensive paddocks on which cattle grazed until the mid-1950s.
As the western subdivision filled with postwar housing a primary school was opened in 1953, and by the mid-1950s house construction was occurring east of Warrigal Road in the Jordanville Housing Commission areas.
