This is pretty accurate. My only comments is if you think that you can survive without English in melbourne. Yes, you can. But you miss out a lot of aussie cultures and places that aussie would go.
You would be living just in Box Hill or Glen Waverley. That is pretty sad. The best thing about Melbourne is that no matter where you live, 30-60min drive can get you to a gorgeous beach or state forest.
There is not many city that you can have this sort of life style.

sorry, 請問如在澳洲讀一年建築課程, 需要多少錢 (學費和生活費)
not too sure about school fee. (hit the U web site)
cost of living is getting higher and higher but students are allow to part time job.
~$200 aus per week for renting a room (rent a house ~$400 per week) in Melbourne. That may give you a sense of cost of living. Uni usually can help you on cost of living estimate.
