About Rosebud

Rosebud is the heart of the Mornington Peninsula's southern suburbs, a coastal town of 14,400 residents on Port Phillip Bay, 75 kilometres from Melbourne. The long beach, caravan parks, and foreshore create a traditional Australian seaside atmosphere. The town serves as a major service centre for the southern Peninsula.

Life here is classic Australian beach townβ€”summer crowds, fish and chips, and a relaxed pace that accelerates during holidays. The community includes retirees and families seeking coastal lifestyle at accessible prices. Rosebud attracts sea-changers, retirees, and families wanting Peninsula life without Mornington prices.

Rosebud falls under postcode 3939 and is governed by Mornington Peninsula Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Nepean (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
