Chadstone is a suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Its Local Government Area is the City of Monash. It is most famous for the Chadstone Shopping Centre, one of the largest shopping centres in the southern hemisphere. Other landmarks include the Waverley Basketball Centre, Jordanville Community Centre and the Matthew Flinders Hotel. Scotchmans Creek runs along Chadstone's southern boundary, the Glen Waverley railway line along the northern boundary, and the Monash Freeway runs through the suburb. The east boundary of the Chadstone suburb is Huntingdale Road.
Chadstone is a small suburb, with parts previously known as Chadstone being rezoned to be incorporated into Malvern East (including the shopping centre). The current Chadstone locality incorporates an area formerly known as Jordanville (even though Jordanville Station is technically in Mount Waverley).
Chadstone was home to Jordanville South Primary School which closed down at the end of the school year in 1993. It was also home to the Waverley Road Campus of Mount Waverley Secondary College (this campus was previously Waverley High School) which closed down in 1996. The Chadstone Campus of the Australian Catholic University closed down in 1993 and has been bought by Chadstone Shopping Centre to expand.
Chadstone as a suburb has the postcode of 3148.
Many of the houses in the Chadstone area were built in the postwar period using prefabricated concrete produced at the current site of the Holmesglen TAFE. The houses tend to be quite small, with two to three bedrooms and large blocks. It is relatively common for houses to be demolished and larger houses built to take advantage of the block size.
