  • Solomon Heights is a section of Sunshine North, consisting of 32.8 hectares of land located 10 km from the centre of Melbourne. It is bound by Baldwin Avenue, Munro Avenue, Vermont Avenue, and the Sydney–Melbourne rail corridor, in the form of the Albion–Jacana railway line. The area is named after Michael Solomon, one of the first European settlers in Victoria, who had a sheep station in the area in the 1830s. Nearby, Solomon’s Ford, which was once an important crossing over the Maribyrnong River, also bears his name. Solomon Heights is significant for its lack of development compared with adjacent suburbs, despite being subdivided into 435 lots during the 1920s. As of 2013, the area lacked sealed roads, drainage and power. Numerous reasons are cited for the lack of development activity in the Solomon Heights area, in particular, its status as a significant local grassland, as well as various infrastructure constraints.
