It’s hard to know where to start when it comes to food and wine on the Bellarine (not to mention beer, gin and whisky). There are so many great places to choose from, whether you’re after a casual catch up with friends or fine dining to celebrate a special occasion.
A highly sought-after vacancy is available for licensed mobile food and beverage vendors to apply for a one-year permit to operate a food truck at the Portarlington Pier Vendor Area.
We are preparing to upgrade the public amenity building at Henderson Reserve, Portarlington, to provide accessible amenities at the busiest beach on the northern Bellarine Peninsula. Construction works are due to commence in mid-October 2024.
The Portarlington foreshore café building provides expansive views across Port Phillip Bay nestled on the lower foreshore. The current 5-year lease and accompanying licence area for outdoor dining will expire on 30 November 2024 and Bellarine Bayside is seeking to continue the service offer at the site through a new lease and licence.
CEO Bruce Elliot’s statement:
After a lot of consideration, and 20 years working in senior leadership roles, I have decided that it is time for me to retire.
We’re firing up for another fabulous winter season on the beautiful Bellarine Peninsula.
If cosy fires, hot chocolates, mulled wine, hearty food and brisk sea air are your thing, then
book a snug pod or cabin, load up your van or camper, and begin plotting your winter escape.
Did you know you can now enjoy toasted marshmallows by the campfire at our Portarlington park?
