Bulla Property Market
& Suburb Profile

Despite its proximity to Melbourne Airport, Bulla retains a quiet, rustic atmosphere that makes it feel worlds away from the urban sprawl.

The lifestyle in Bulla is deeply connected to its history and natural surroundings. Residents and visitors are often drawn to the Bulla Historic Park, which preserves the area's rich past, and the iconic bluestone Bulla Bridge, built in 1869, which spans Deep Creek at the base of a steep and winding road. For family recreation, the Bulla Hill Railway - a miniature railway that runs through the hills - is a beloved local attraction. Nature lovers can explore the nearby Woodlands Historic Park or the geological wonder of the Organ Pipes National Park, which features unique basalt columns formed millions of years ago.

Infrastructure and community services are primarily accessed in the neighbouring hub of Sunbury, as Bulla itself remains a low-density "Green Wedge" enclave. The suburb was once home to the historic Bulla Primary School (established in 1854), though local students now typically attend schools in Sunbury or Tullamarine, such as Goonawarra Primary School or Salesian College. Connectivity is robust for a rural locality, with the Sunbury Road providing a direct link to the airport and the Tullamarine Freeway, while the nearby Sunbury and Diggers Rest railway stations offer Metro and V/Line services to the city.

From a property perspective, Bulla is an exclusive and tightly held market with an exceptionally high rate of owner-occupation, often exceeding 89%. The housing stock is a mix of heritage homesteads, mid-century family homes on large allotments, and expansive lifestyle acreages. Because of its protected status within the Green Wedge and its proximity to the airport's flight paths, residential development is strictly limited. This ensures the suburb maintains its private, spacious character, making it a "forever home" destination for those who value privacy and a connection to Victoria's pastoral history.
