Young children benefit from neighbourhood environments that provide resources and opportunities for positive and stimulating experiences. Growth area suburbs on the urban fringe may lack essential services and infrastructure, raising concerns about how health-promoting they are for young children's health, development and wellbeing. We explored the lived experiences of parents of young children living in one growth area of Melbourne, Australia.
