Residential streets beside sport and industry
Keilor Park combines established housing, organised sport and a substantial employment precinct in Melbourne’s west.
This is a suburb where detached housing sits alongside formal recreation facilities and an industrial area supporting manufacturing, metal products, transport and warehousing.

The suburb contains 48 hectares of zoned industrial land. Brimbank City Council identifies food manufacturing, metal products, and transport and warehousing as local cluster strengths.
