Woolston
Riverside village with an industrial-creative edge.

A closer look at Woolston
Woolston wraps around the Heathcote River, blending its industrial heritage with a growing creative and cafe scene. Older workers' cottages sit beside contemporary builds, and the river path gives the suburb a genuine village feel that's still only minutes from the city. It's a pocket in transition, where the old workshops and stores are finding new life as studios, eateries and community spaces.
