Gisborne South consists entirely of large scenic acreages due to its location just outside Melbourne's Green Wedge – a designation for non-urban areas of metropolitan Melbourne that lie outside the Urban Growth Boundary. As such, it does not have its own central commercial area. Residents travel to the nearby town of Gisborne to access services and amenities.
