Burnside and Burnside Heights

Burnside is a residential suburb on the former Western Highway (now Ballarat Road) 20 km west of central Melbourne. It is between Caroline Springs and Deer Park. Its eastern and northern boundaries are the Kororoit Creek. Burnside Heights is on the northern side of the creek, immediately west of Kings Park. Both Burnside and Burnside Heights are the eastern-most suburbs of Melton shire.

Originally both suburbs were known as Burnside. Burnside Heights was detached and named in late 2005.
