Belmont is serviced by several CDC Geelong and McHarry's Buslines routes that run along High Street, connecting the suburb to Geelong city, Highton, Grovedale, Waurn Ponds and Deakin University.
The Belmont Common area is known to be flood‑prone during heavy rainfall, so properties close to the river‑adjacent reserves may experience occasional flooding.
Within roughly 1 km you’ll find the Barwon Valley Public Golf Course, baseball fields, shooting ranges, a dog obedience school and the Barwon Valley Activity Centre with indoor basketball and netball courts, all situated on the Belmont Common.
High Street runs through Belmont, linking Geelong to Colac, and the nearby James Harrison Bridge provides a four‑lane crossing over the Barwon River. The Surfcoast Highway and Barwon Heads Road are also within a short drive.
Belmont, meaning “beautiful hill,” developed from a 19th‑century township with early bridges over the Barwon River, later expanding rapidly after the 1926 bridge and tram extension. It has a rich history of aviation on the Belmont Common and was home to a CSIRO textile research laboratory for over 50 years.
