About Beeac
Beeac is a small town in Victoria's Western District, situated on the shore of the hyper-saline Lake Beeac within the Colac Otway Shire. Located approximately 160 kilometres southwest of Melbourne and 19 kilometres north of Colac, the town serves as a rural service centre for the surrounding farming district. With a population of around 394, it is a tight-knit community set amid the gently rolling pastoral landscapes typical of south-western Victoria.
The town retains a quiet, agricultural character with a small main street and the distinctive presence of Lake Beeac nearby, which offers a unique natural feature despite its salt content. Farming — particularly dairying and cropping — underpins the local economy, and the community maintains a strong rural identity. Beeac suits those who appreciate wide open spaces, affordable country living, and the slower pace of regional Victoria.
Beeac falls under postcode 3251 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Polwarth (Western Victoria) electorate.
