Surburb overview

Clifton Springs is a coastal suburb on the Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria, located approximately 20 kilometres east of the Geelong central business district and about 85 kilometres south-west of Melbourne.

The suburb falls within the City of Greater Geelong. It is positioned along the western shoreline of Port Phillip Bay, offering a mix of established residential areas and newer housing developments.

According to recent census data, Clifton Springs has a moderate, growing population, with a demographic profile that includes retirees, families, and commuters.

The area has historically been associated with holiday housing. Still, it has increasingly become a permanent residential location due to its coastal setting and relative affordability compared with inner Geelong suburbs. Housing consists largely of detached dwellings, many with bay views, alongside more recent subdivisions expanding the suburb inland.

Road access is via the Bellarine Highway, which connects Clifton Springs to Geelong and other peninsula towns such as Drysdale and Portarlington. Public transport includes bus services linking the suburb to nearby centres, while rail services are available from Geelong for travel to Melbourne.

Essential services such as supermarkets, schools and medical facilities are primarily located in neighbouring Drysdale, with additional options in central Geelong.

Clifton Springs features local amenities, including the Clifton Springs Golf Club and a marina precinct that supports boating and waterfront recreation. The foreshore area provides walking paths, picnic spaces and access to the bay, contributing to the suburb’s recreational appeal. Natural features include coastal wetlands and views across Port Phillip Bay, supporting birdlife and outdoor activities.

Clifton Springs continues to experience residential growth as part of broader development across the Bellarine Peninsula. Land use planning reflects a balance between maintaining coastal amenity and accommodating population increase.
