A brief history of Vermont South!
Until the late 1960s Vermont South was rural with numerous orchards, as it was fairly remote from the railway line to Lilydale in the north and from the Glen Waverley railway terminus to the south-west. An early modern development was the Burvale Hotel at the corner of Springvale Road and Burwood Highway. The Vermont South shopping centre on the Highway was opened in 1974.
Vermont South’s civic centre is around the Burwood Highway shopping centre where there are also an indoor sports stadium, Council library, neighbourhood house, a bowling club and two nearby schools. Other authorities might say that Vermont South’s real heartland is to the west, between Burwood Highway and Highbury Road, where residential development began in the 1960s. A small cul-de-sac, Pin Oak Crescent, was the ‘Ramsay Street’ locale for filming the television series Neighbours (1986-88).
