Glenhurst Park, Coldstream

Coldstream, effectively a north-eastern suburb of Melbourne, is a small commuter settlement that has always confused me as it seems to conform to many of the style elements of the 1920s subdivision - not least because of its three internal reserve spaces - but there does not seem to be any record of it before the 1960s. Whether the subdivisional plan was completed long before any land was sold is unclear. It may be that it is a genuine 1960s idea. Possibly someone who reads this will have some better idea than I do. 
As is evident from Google Maps, whatever status Glenhurst Park enjoys in the original plan, it is actually open-ended to the north - at present. This is not to say it will not, at some stage, be fully enclosed.
