where is kooyong

Kooyong is a small, affluent suburb in Melbourne’s inner south‑east, in the state of Victoria, Australia, located roughly 6–7 km from the Melbourne CBD.

Basic location

• Kooyong sits in the City of Stonnington, in Melbourne’s inner east/south‑east corridor.

• It is near well‑known suburbs such as Toorak, Malvern, Hawthorn and Kew, forming part of a highly urban, residential area.

• The suburb lies around Gardiners Creek, just off major roads like Toorak Road and Glenferrie Road, which connect it quickly to central Melbourne.

Notable for tennis

• Kooyong is famous for the Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club and Kooyong Stadium, a historic venue that once hosted the Australian Open.

• Even though the club is technically in the neighbouring suburb of Toorak, it is directly adjacent to Kooyong and strongly associated with the suburb and its identity.

Kooyong as an electorate

• “Kooyong” is also the name of a federal electoral division covering several inner‑eastern Melbourne suburbs, including Kooyong itself, Toorak, Malvern and parts of Hawthorn and Kew.

• The division is named after the suburb of Kooyong, and recent boundary changes have brought the suburb back into its namesake seat.
