Portarlington Suburb Profile Information
Over the years, the economy of Portarlington shifted from a transit port for locally-grown wheat, to holidays for the privileged and, since the 1950's, to family holidays for everyone. Portarlington's protected beaches attract holiday-makers from Geelong (31km) and Melbourne is just 110 minutes away. For many years, Portarlington's caravan park at Point Richards was the largest in Victoria. Other holiday accommodation is catered for by hotels, motels, holiday homes and units, holiday parks and camping areas.
The area has always been a centre for mussel and bay fishing. The local economy is now benefiting from aquaculture production of these shellfish. Portarlington holds a special festival each January to celebrate and sample local mussels. When the Safe Harbour development is undertaken, Portarlington's status as a major dive centre will be further enhanced.
Portarlington has an active property market with buyers seeking houses for holiday letting competing with families seeking to live there and work locally or Geelong, or couples in retirement. Property prices in Portarlington are higher than the regional average.
Portarlington's primary school is located in Newcombe Street its main road. Students seeking more advanced studies seek the advanced educational facilities in Geelong.
Its permanent population of just over 3,000 includes a number of residents of Maltese, Croatian and Italian extract. Their cultures are shared at annual festivals.
