About Hastings
Hastings is a bayside township on the Mornington Peninsula, 60 kilometres southeast of Melbourne's CBD. The working harbour and marina define the town's character, distinguishing it from the Peninsula's beach-focused suburbs. The town serves as a gateway to French Island.
Life here centres on the water—fishing, boating, and waterfront dining attract those who prefer working harbours to beach culture. The main street maintains genuine township character. Hastings attracts fishing enthusiasts, boaties, and families seeking affordable Peninsula living with authentic maritime atmosphere.
Hastings falls under postcode 3915 and is governed by Mornington Peninsula Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Hastings (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
