Overview
Portland is Victoria’s oldest European settlement, perched on Portland Bay with a 2021 census population of 10,016. Residents enjoy coastal living alongside cultural amenities such as the heritage‑rich Portland Cable Tram, the nearby Botanical Gardens and Nelson Park, and the Portland Art Centre and The Arts Company in the historic precinct. Community radio 3RPC‑FM and WAVE‑FM keep locals connected, while a variety of schools, Bundarra Primary and Portland Secondary College, serve families, and sports clubs ranging from football to cricket provide active recreation.
The suburb is well‑served by road, sitting 362 km west of Melbourne via the Princes Highway and linked to Hamilton by the Henty Highway; freight rail runs through the Maroona‑Portland line with a recent overpass improving port access, and Portland Airport offers regional flights. A blend of heritage‑listed cottages near the waterfront and newer residences inland gives buyers a range of housing choices within a vibrant, historic community.
