Ringwood North is a suburb ofMelbourne,Victoria,Australia, 26 kilometres (16 mi) east of Melbourne'sCentral Business District, located within the Cities ofManningham andMaroondahlocal government areas. Ringwood North recorded a population of 9,964 at the2021 census.[2]
The suburb is mostly located within the City of Maroondah, with a small part in the north west of the suburb being located within the City of Manningham.
It is bounded on the south by Loughnan, Warrandyte and Wonga Roads (these roads flow into one another continuously). Glenvale Road forms the westernmost boundary in the southern part of the suburb, with the Warrandyte-Ringwood Road forming the western boundary at the northern end of the suburb. The eastern and northern boundaries follow property lines, rather than roads.
Ringwood North Post Office opened on 9 August 1920, in the then rural area.[4]
Ringwood North has its own shopping centre and also has plenty of parklands and reserves nearby without being excessively rural, likeWonga Park orWarrandyte. The style of its roads is distinct from the urban, parallel streetscapes ofRingwood and the circular, 'contour-line' style streets found in neighbouringPark Orchards.
Ringwood North is a surprisingly hilly area, which is especially evident around the aptly named Loughnan's Hill area and the infamously steepGlenvale Road. Glenvale Road also happens to mark the boundary between Ringwood North andDonvale and also the boundary between Maroondah andManningham.
There are no secondary schools within the suburb of Ringwood North howeverNorwood Secondary College lies just over the boundary with the neighbouring suburb ofRingwood.
The suburb has anAustralian rules football team, the North Ringwood Saints, who compete in theEastern Football League.[5]
The suburb also has a cricket club, the North Ringwood Bulls, which takes part in the Ringwood and District Cricket Association.
