About Streatham
Streatham is a quiet rural locality in Victoria's Corangamite Shire, situated approximately 200 kilometres west of Melbourne and around 30 kilometres south of Ballarat. Spread across roughly 156 square kilometres of open agricultural land, it is home to around 158 residents who are predominantly engaged in or connected to farming. The landscape is characterised by gently rolling paddocks devoted to sheep, cattle grazing, and cereal cropping, with scattered stands of native eucalyptus adding to the pastoral scenery. The predominant age group trends older, reflecting the typical demographic of small Victorian agricultural communities.
Streatham offers an unhurried country lifestyle with basic local amenities typical of a small rural township. The nearby towns of Mortlake (about 30 km south-west) and Ballarat (about 30 km north-east) provide residents with access to supermarkets, schools, hospitals, and commercial services. The area appeals to those seeking affordable rural living with strong agricultural roots and a genuinely tight-knit community feel. Proximity to Ballarat also means residents can enjoy regional city amenities while returning to a peaceful rural setting.
Streatham falls under postcode 3351 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Ripon (Western Victoria) electorate.
