"Where dreams come true..."
Much of what is now Roxburgh Park was formerly used as agricultural land and Roxburgh Park was only developed by the Urban Land Corporation in 1992 (not unlike the new towns in green wedges of Britain). The commercial hub of the suburb is located on Somerton Road (highways 35 and 58).
As of 2005 development has progressed, with the construction of more child care centres, a retirement village, an Islamic centre, as well as improvement of roads. The Roxburgh Park railway station opened on 30 September 2007.
Most of Roxburgh Park's fame came with widely screened TV commercials throughout the mid-1990s, presenting Roxburgh Park's avowed virtues as a planned community with a balance of residential, industrial and reserves (part of the Shanklands Reserve is in the south of Roxburgh Park), as well as community services and access to transport. The slogan for the campaign was Roxburgh Park - where dreams come true...

Out of 10 i will give 5 for Roxburgh Secondary College. There are better schools in the same area. The area is a gold mine u cant go wrong it is pretty safe. Dont be to concerned, it is a very family oriented suburb.
ive moved my kids from thomastown secondary to roxburgh college, i was pretty worried about the bad reputation roxburgh college had, but having the kids there and hearing their feedback, its pretty good, i think the college has come a long way, we're pretty happy so far, so good, and the suburb is great, esp for families.
What's Roxburgh Secondary College like? I'm moving in the area soon, and I've heard some bad things about it, from a few people. Im really concerned.
