ABOUT ALTONA

13 km south-west of Melbourne's CBD, in the local government area of the City of Hobsons Bay, is the suburb of Altona, Victoria. 11,490 people were counted in Altona as of the 2021 census.

Altona housing consists of low density residential houses in the south-eastern half, with mixed industry in the north-western half of the suburb.

Altona Beach on Port Phillip bay is one of only two swimming beaches in the western suburbs. The suburb also has many significant parks and gardens, including some important environmental conservation areas and wetlands.

The most appealing and well-liked beach in Melbourne's West is Altona Beach. Numerous leisure and aquatic sports are practised there, including volleyball, paddle boarding, and kite surfing. A beautiful stretch of beach perfect for enjoying the sun, having a picnic, or creating sandcastles is reached by the quiet, clear sea. Free parking, parks with trees, barbeque pits, and other public facilities are all close to stores, cafés, and public transportation.

If you frequent the east side of the bay for your wet pup frolicking times, you may not be familiar with the west side's brilliant offering. Altona's dog beach is a magical land for dogs local to the area. At low tide there's heaps of space for any number of dogs to run around freely, splash around in the shallows and smell each others' butts.

Altona has four primary school being Altona Primary School, Seaholme Primary School, Altona College (formerly Altona Secondary College and Altona West Primary School) and St. Marys Catholic Primary School. Altona's secondary schools include Mount St. Joseph Girls' College and Altona College.

Altona has excellent transport links with two train stations (Altona and Westona) on the Werribee railway line.

Shopping is available along Pier Street, where you can enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner and take in the view of the beach while you sip on a coffee. There’s also a range of sporting opportunities with facilities such as the Altona Basketball Stadium, Kooringal Golf Club, Altona Tennis Club, Altona Cricket Club, Altona Football Club and the Altona Hockey Club.

The Altona Beach Festival is an annual free celebration of Hobsons Bay and the western suburbs that take place at the Logan Reserve area, which is on the Esplanade and comprises the Logan Reserve parklands, part of Pier Street, and the Esplanade. The event features a beach market, double-decker bus tour, fireworks off the Altona Pier, a street parade at dusk, professional performers, and RAAF fly-overs.
