Sanctuary Lakes Shopping Centre houses banks, newsagents, cafes, hairdressers, accountants and medical facilities. The nearest railway stations are at Laverton and Aircraft on the Werribee line. Bus routes also travel from Point Cook to Werribee Plaza and Hoppers Crossing.

point cook Income & Mortgage Stats

To calculate the percentage of income paid towards a mortgage for the suburb of Melbourne, multiply the mortgage payment (e.g. $2450) by 12 then divide this figure by the weekly income (e.g. $1200) multiplied by 52 (weeks) to look like this ($2450 x12/$1200 x 52) x 100 = 47%
