How many people will live around here

Live

The rest of this page looks backwards. This is the one number that looks forward - and it is the state government's own, not ours. Victoria in Future 2023 (Vic. Dept of Transport and Planning) projects the Mornington Peninsula council area, which contains Mount Eliza along with its neighbouring suburbs, to grow to 187,540 people by 2036: 17,150 more people than the 170,390 counted in 2021.

This is the council area, not Mount Eliza. Mornington Peninsula is a whole local government area covering many suburbs, and neither state publishes a projection for a single suburb. Growth is never spread evenly across a council - a greenfield estate and an established street inside the same council will move very differently - so read this as the direction of the wider area a suburb sits in, not as a forecast for its own streets. Only the years the publisher itself lists are plotted: nothing is filled in between them, and nothing is carried past 2036. A projection is an assumption about the future, not a measurement of it, and it will be revised - this one was released September 2023. These figures sit on the projection's own series, so they are not directly comparable with the ABS resident-population and Census counts elsewhere on this page, which use different geographies and different years.

All 9 checks and what each one means

Flooding

Not in the overlay

No Victorian planning-scheme flood overlay (inundation, floodway or overland stormwater) intersects this area. Overlays map known planning constraints, not every place water can go.

Bushfire

In an official overlay

12.8% of the area

Part of this area sits inside the Victorian Bushfire Management Overlay, which triggers extra planning requirements on affected land. The area is also inside the state’s designated Bushfire Prone Area - a separate and much wider designation that makes bushfire construction standards apply to a new home or extension.

Heritage controls

In an official overlay

8.2% of the area

Part of this area sits inside the Victorian Heritage Overlay, so changes to buildings there - extensions, demolition, sometimes even paint colours - need planning approval. It applies property by property: most homes in an area with an overlay are not in it, and being in one is a protection as much as a restriction.

Traffic noise

Freeway or highway present

Nepean Highway

1 named road through this area carries OpenStreetMap's highest classification - a freeway, motorway or major highway, whatever the road is called locally, alongside 3 named main roads. Roads are counted by name, not by mapped segment. Where a home sits relative to them matters far more than the count - a street two blocks back can be quiet.

Aircraft noise

Not in the overlay

No Victorian Airport Environs Overlay (including the Melbourne Airport one) intersects this area. The overlays cover land close to an airport under a mapped noise contour - aircraft still fly over areas outside them, including on flight paths.

Land contamination checks

In an official overlay

2.2% of the area

Part of this area sits inside the Victorian Environmental Audit Overlay - land where a past use such as a service station, dry cleaner, factory or landfill means an environmental audit must be completed before it can be used for housing, childcare or a school. It flags land that must be checked, not land found to be contaminated, and it applies parcel by parcel.

Acid sulfate soils

None mapped

Victoria's coastal acid sulfate soil mapping covers coastal and estuarine land only, and none is mapped in this area. These soils form in low-lying coastal sediments, so away from the coast and the estuaries there is nothing to map - read this as outside the mapped zone rather than as a soil test.

Recorded crime

Official counts published

398 incidents

Police-recorded criminal incidents in Years ending June; latest = year ending June 2026, down 15% on the prior year. A count, not a rate - busier areas with more shops, stations and visitors record more incidents than quiet ones of the same size. Full breakdown ↑

Social housing

Census figure

0.0% rented from a state or territory housing authority · 0.0% from a community housing provider

Share of occupied private dwellings here with a stated tenure (Census 2021). The middle VIC area is 1.0% public and 0.3% community, across 513 areas. Listed because families ask; it is a fact about who owns the homes, not a judgement about the people in them.
