About Bellarine

Bellarine is a small rural locality within the City of Greater Geelong, Victoria, situated on the Bellarine Peninsula south of Geelong. With a registered population of around 134 enrolled voters living in approximately 81 properties, it is one of the more sparsely populated localities on the peninsula. The area is characterised by open farmland, coastal proximity, and a quiet, semi-rural atmosphere typical of the broader Bellarine Peninsula.

Residents enjoy the relaxed Bellarine Peninsula lifestyle, with easy access to coastal towns such as Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads, and Queenscliff for beaches, dining, and services. The peninsula is known for its wineries, artisan producers, and scenic cycling routes. Bellarine appeals to retirees, childless couples, and those seeking a peaceful rural setting while remaining within reach of Geelong and Melbourne.
