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.

book a snug pod or cabin, load up your van or camper, and begin plotting your winter escape.
