Ringwood, Victoria (Greater Melbourne)

 suburb, invisible

Ringwood is a suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 23 km (14 mi) east of Melbourne's central business district. Its Local Government Area is the City of Maroondah. At the 2006 Census, Ringwood had a population of 15,185.

Ringwood is notable as the location of a Cadbury production factory, and the Eastland Shopping Centre. The centre of Ringwood is based on Maroondah Highway (the continuation of Whitehorse Road from Blackburn). In 2008, Eastlink was completed, including the Ringwood Bypass, providing a road bypass of the central township.

Ringwood has been designated to be a Transit City as part of the Melbourne 2030 development plan by the Bracks government. Ringwood is a key gateway from Melbourne's CBD to the Yarra Valley.

In April 2008, the Brumby Labor Government did not approve any of the plans for the construction of the new transport hub in the centre of Ringwood. The development of the ageing Railway Station and facilities would provide improvements to several elements of the environs and to passenger safety.
