Overview

Altona lies 13 km south‑west of Melbourne’s CBD and blends low‑density housing in its south‑eastern half with mixed‑use industry to the north‑west. With a 2021 census population of 11 490, residents enjoy Altona Beach, one of only two swimming beaches in Melbourne’s western suburbs, alongside extensive parklands such as Altona Coastal Park, Cherry Lake and the Hobsons Bay Coastal Trail. The suburb supports families through four primary schools, two secondary colleges and a library branch that houses an Environmental Resources Centre, while a vibrant sporting scene and the annual Altona Beach Festival add cultural flair.
