24/7 Parcel Lockers

The EBV residents-only library/quiet spaces located in specific buildings is a sanctuary that caters to the multifaceted interests of EBV locals. The EBV library has everything, whether you seek a quiet nook to work, a cozy corner to dive into captivating novels, or a vibrant communal area to engage in a spirited board game battle.

The Rooftop Gardens
High above the bustling streets of East Brunswick, the EBV Rooftop Gardens offers respite, beauty, and a sense of community like no other. Set against the stunning backdrop of Melbourne’s city skyline along with some stunning mountain views, these havens beckon residents to escape the daily grind and immerse themselves in nature.
As you step onto the various Rooftop Gardens, prepare to be captivated by the panoramic views that stretch as far as the eye can see. The majestic Melbourne cityscape and mountain views are on full display, and you can also enjoy private or shared plots for gardening. Whether you have a green thumb or are just starting your gardening journey, these spaces are the perfect environment for cultivating your little paradise.
The Rooftop Gardens are a vibrant hub for community gatherings and celebrations. The New Year’s Eve rooftop party takes centre stage each year, offering residents an unrivalled view of Melbourne’s spectacular fireworks. It’s a moment of shared anticipation and excitement as neighbours come together to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new with joy and enthusiasm.
The Rooftop Gardens also host a variety of community catch-ups throughout the year, celebrating national days, fostering community togetherness, and supporting charitable causes. In addition to its stunning views and communal events, the Rooftop Garden serves as a reminder of EBV’s commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. The gardens become a living testament to the community’s dedication to a greener future with its green spaces, rainwater harvesting systems, and eco-friendly initiatives. It even has its very own weather station and live data feed, so you’ll always be able to pick an appropriate outfit before leaving home.
Brunswick Tool Library
We recognise that apartment living doesn’t allow for a toolshed, but you won’t need one, thanks to the Brunswick Tool Library, a volunteer-led non-profit organisation dedicated to providing access to tools, knowledge, and education for all.
No more being held back by the high cost of purchasing specialised tools or the fear of tackling projects without the necessary equipment. The Tool Library makes DIY dreams accessible to all members, and EBV residents get a discount on the yearly subscription fee!
The Tool Library extends beyond just providing tools. It also offers classes designed to educate and inspire individuals of all skill levels. This handy initiative is like having a full workshop without storing the tools in your home. For fixes, gardening on the roof, or socialising with other handy people, the Tool Library has you covered!
Dog Wash
EBV apartments are pet-friendly and even have an eco-dog wash in the village! Swing down to the carpark whenever your furry friend needs a wash and have access to a private washing station, dog shampoos and conditioners and maybe even some other dog owners and four-legged companions to make friends with!
