Overview

Mount Martha sits on the southeastern shore of Port Phillip, 50 km southeast of Melbourne’s CBD, and recorded 19,746 residents at the 2021 census. The suburb offers a long, boardwalk‑lined beach from Balcombe Creek to Briars Historic Park, a vibrant volunteer Surf Lifesaving Club that hosts the annual Australia Day Swim, and a range of sport facilities including a golf course, public tennis courts, four football ovals and a pony club for young equestrians. Residents also benefit from the community‑run CFA fire brigade and easy access to nearby green spaces such as Fairbairn Park.

Major arterial routes – Peninsula Link and the Mornington Peninsula Freeway (connecting via EastLink) – provide direct links to Melbourne. Recent growth has centred around the Martha Cove inland harbour development and expanding housing toward the Moorooduc Highway, creating a mix of waterfront and inland homes. Local amenities include Balcombe Grammar School, Osborne Primary School, the historic Mt Martha House community centre and the post office at Balcombe Military Post Office.
