Glenelg Shire Council

Whether you choose to live in a coastal environment or in a rural setting, the diverse nature of the Glenelg Shire makes it a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family. Live by the sea, in town or on a farm – the choice is yours.

Glenelg Shire is made up of friendly and vibrant communities with many sporting, community and cultural organisations to participate in.

For those seeking a change from the fast and polluted city life, Glenelg Shire is the ideal place.

For the families there are many first class primary and secondary schools, a TAFE campus and the Warrnambool campus of Deakin University is just an hour away.

Portland, Casterton and Heywood are each serviced by Hospitals offering quality facilities and services.

If you are looking for a place to live, come and have a look and become part of our community.

The Glenelg Shire Council was established by an Order-in-Council under the Local Government Act 1989, published in the Victorian Governement Gazette S63 on 23 September 1994. Three councils were amalgamated, the City of Portland and the Shires of Glenelg and Heywood, to form the new Glenelg Shire.
