There were 35340 people living in Mount Waverley at the 2021 census, spread over around 15.9 square kilometres in Monash, postcode 3149. A note on how Mount Waverley developed: Post Offices at Mount Waverley North (opened 1959 closed 1983), Mount Waverley South (opened 1968 closed 1973), and Mount Waverley West (opened 1964 closed 1977) chart the wider residential development of the suburb. That history is why some streets here have boards that have never been touched.
