Carnegie is a suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 12 km south-east of Melbourne's central business district,[2] on the railway line between Caulfield and Oakleigh,[3] located within the City of Glen Eira local government area. Carnegie recorded a population of 17,909 at the 2021 census.[1]
The suburb's main shopping precinct is a well-regarded 'eat street,’ with cafes and restaurants lining Koornang Road from Dandenong Road to Neerim Road. Koornang Park and the neighbouring Carnegie Swim Centre are located between Koornang Road, Munro Avenue and Lyons Street.
Originally called Rosstown, after William Murray Ross, a prominent property developer and entrepreneur, a name change came about due to Ross' failed speculative developments.[4] In 1909 it was renamed Carnegie.[5][6] It has been suggested that this was done in an unsuccessful attempt to secure funds for a library from the philanthropist Andrew Carnegie but there is no contemporary evidence supporting this.[7][8]
Its postcode is 3163.
