Tuerong

About Tuerong

Tuerong is a peaceful rural locality on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, located approximately 55 kilometres south-east of Melbourne's CBD within the Shire of Mornington Peninsula local government area. The locality spans nearly 39 square kilometres of rolling farmland and natural reserves, with a population of 357 at the 2021 Census. The Devilbend Reservoir, a large water storage facility with a capacity of 14,600 megalitres, is the dominant natural feature of the landscape, though it no longer serves an active water supply role.

Tuerong is home to the Dromana Estate winery and restaurant, housed in the historic Tuerong Homestead built in the late 1800s, making it a quiet destination for wine enthusiasts on the Mornington Peninsula's celebrated food and wine trail. The locality sits inland between the coastal towns of Mount Martha and Hastings, with Moorooduc to the north, providing easy access to the Peninsula's beaches, wineries, and national park. A private vehicle is essential for residents, but the serene rural setting and proximity to world-class coastal and wine experiences make Tuerong a distinctive and sought-after address.

Tuerong falls under postcode 3915 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Mornington (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
