[1] An outer suburban locality that adjoins the Melbourne metropolitan area, Ravenhall is located south of the Western Freeway and the suburb of Caroline Springs.

The locality is named after the Ravenhall Munitions Siding, established during World War II.

As part of the Regional Rail Link project a bridge was built over the railway line on Christies Road to protect the nearby Boral Quarry from being isolated by the tracks.

Part of the Regional Rail Link, which branches off from the Robinsons Road level crossing in Deer Park and forms the new section of the Geelong line, runs through Ravenhall.

In June 2013, former Governor of the U.S. State of California and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger visited a 24-hour gym in Ravenhall, and was presented with the keys to the City of Melton by Mayor Kathy Majdlik.
