About Tyabb

Tyabb is a semi-rural locality on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, situated approximately 55 kilometres south-east of Melbourne CBD within the Mornington Peninsula Shire. Covering over 23 square kilometres, it is a spacious, low-density community with a population of 3,449 and a median age of 42, predominantly Anglo-Australian in character. The area offers a relaxed rural lifestyle with acreage properties, hobby farms, and established family homes spread across a largely green and undulating landscape.

Tyabb is well-known among antique enthusiasts for its cluster of dealers and the Tyabb Packing House Antiques, which draws visitors from across the region. The suburb has its own station on the Stony Point Line, with connections to Frankston for onward services to Melbourne, though most residents rely on cars for daily commuting. Families and sea-changers are attracted by affordable larger-block living, proximity to the Peninsula's beaches, wineries, and nature reserves, and the tight-knit semi-rural community character.

Tyabb falls under postcode 3913 and is governed by Mornington Peninsula Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Hastings (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
