Overview

Nestled on the northern shore of Corio Bay, Avalon (postcode 3212) lies north‑east of Geelong within the City of Greater Geelong’s Windermere Ward and a short drive southwest of Melbourne. The locality enjoys excellent air connectivity through Avalon Airport, which doubles as a secondary gateway for Melbourne and hosts the biennial Australian International Airshow, the largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere. According to the 2021 Census, 255 residents call Avalon home, creating a close‑knit community against a backdrop of coastal views and easy access to major urban centres.

The area blends industrial and recreational amenities, featuring a concrete railway‑sleeper factory, the historic Cheetham Saltworks and the dirt‑track Avalon Raceway. Plans for a new motorsport complex announced in 2023 highlight a growing leisure‑sport focus, while the airport’s presence influences a diverse housing mix that accommodates both local workers and families seeking proximity to Geelong’s amenities and Melbourne’s transport hub.
