Weir Views is a suburb located in the City of Melton, 35 km (22 mi) west of Melbourne's Central Business District. Weir Views recorded a population of 4,348 at the 2021 census.[1] But in 2023 there might be up to 4,375 to 4,390 people.
The suburb was gazetted by the Office of Geographic Names on 9 February 2017,[2] following a proposal for eleven new suburbs by the City of Melton.[3][4] Before the suburb's creation, the area was part of Melton South. The traditional owners of the land are the Wurundjeri people.
Weir Views consists of four housing estates: Seventh Bend, Exford Waters, Opalia, and Toolern Waters. The estate of Exfort Waters contains the St Lawrence of Brindisi Catholic Primary School, which is a branch of St Anthony's of Padua Catholic Primary School.[5]
The estate of Opalia has a small shopping centre named Opalia Plaza, containing a Woolworths supermarket, a Chemist Warehouse pharmacy, a McDonald's restaurant, and several speciality stores and cafes.[6]
