1/30 Burt Street

The address is a unit, positioned on a substantial parcel of land measuring 2,569 m². This unusually large lot provides ample outdoor space for a unit dwelling.

Altona lies about 13 km (8 mi) south‑west of Melbourne’s CBD, so the unit is roughly that distance from the city centre, making the suburb reasonably close to the metropolitan hub.

Both Altona and Westona railway stations are within 1 km, offering train services on the Altona Loop. Several bus routes, including 411, 412, 415 and the SMARTBUS 903, run through the area, providing links to Footscray, Williamstown and beyond.

Altona Beach is just over 1 km away, while Cherry Lake and the Altona Coastal Park are about 1‑2 km from the unit. Truganina Coastal Parklands are also nearby, roughly 2‑3 km to the north‑west.

The Altona Beach Festival is a popular free event held annually at the Logan Reserve precinct. It features a twilight parade, beach market, performances and fireworks, celebrating the local community and coastal lifestyle.

Altona is home to a large petrochemical complex that has operated since the early 1960s, producing chemicals and plastics for a range of industries. Recent environmental initiatives have improved the surrounding coastal areas.

Altona was the launch site for Australia’s first cross‑country flight in 1911 and later the first powered passenger flight. The suburb also has a history of coal mining from 1908 to 1919 and was settled permanently in 1842.
