Parking in residential areas of Mount Waverley is generally ample and free, but near shopping precincts such as Mount Waverley Village, it can be more difficult to find parking during busy periods. Local driving lessons often include parking techniques in high-demand areas to help learners manage these situations.

Mount Waverley’s mix of quiet residential streets and busier main roads provides a good environment for learner drivers. Suburban streets are ideal for practicing basic driving skills, while major roads like Stephensons Road help learners experience more complex traffic scenarios. The suburb’s varying speed limits also help learners adapt to different driving conditions.

Like many Melbourne suburbs, Mount Waverley occasionally has roadworks, particularly on major thoroughfares like Blackburn Road and High Street Road. These works can cause detours and slow traffic, so it’s important to stay updated on local traffic reports and factor in extra time during lessons or commutes.

Mount Waverley is well-serviced by public transport, with a train station on the Glen Waverley line providing regular services to Melbourne CBD. Several bus routes also operate in the area, connecting residents to nearby suburbs and key locations like Chadstone Shopping Centre and Monash University. The convenient access to both trains and buses makes it easy for commuters and students to travel without relying on cars.
