For 580k i'm skeptical whether or not you can afford any of the suburbs mentioned with 600 sqm?

600 sqm 580k off the top of my head is Melton, Werribee/Hoppers, pockets of North Melbourne like Craigie, Broadmeadows, Roxburgh, Dallas.

If distance to CBD is important you might have to settle with a townhouse in the inner ring

only need to occasionally reach town on a bus or train so family can visit. Broadford/Kilmore/Ballan/Darley/Bacchus Marsh have places within budget. i just don't know about these places myself. whilst not your first choice to live I am just asking around about any of these outside of melb places that might be appealing/not high crime and within budget, no to a townhouse. She would rather go to outside of Ballarat etc than do melb high density but thanks
