Studfield 3152 |
Studfield is a residential locality in Wantirna, immediately north of the Knox City shopping centre, Burwood Highway. It is 25 km. east-south-east of Melbourne, and adjoins Stud Road - hence the name. ("Stud"came from a police horse stud which existed southwards, next to the Dandenong Creek.)
Studfield was settled residentially during the 1960s. Its primary school opened in 1965 with fewer than 200 pupils, and by 1969 it had over 650 pupils. Studfield East primary school was opened in 1971. By 1993 the first generation of families had grown up, and the first of the two schools was closed. It was developed as the Knox City housing estate.
Studfield has a local shopping centre on Stud Road, about five-hundred metres from the regional Knox City Shopping Centre (1977) and the adjoining business offices. There is a large reserve with a retarding basin on Blind Creek immediately north of the Knox City shopping centre.
