About Warneet
Warneet is a small coastal town in Victoria, located 68 kilometres south-east of Melbourne's CBD within the City of Casey local government area. Situated on Rutherford Inlet, an arm at the northern end of Western Port, the town covers just 3.3 square kilometres and recorded a population of 565 at the 2021 Census. The median household income reflects the working-to-middle class demographic typical of the outer south-east, and the compact, low-density settlement is defined almost entirely by its waterfront location.
Warneet's waterfront and inlet setting make it a destination for fishing, recreational boating, and birdwatching on the shores of Western Port. Cranbourne Transit route 795 provides limited weekday bus services connecting Warneet to Cranbourne approximately 19 kilometres away, while the South Gippsland Highway (M420) and Baxter-Tooradin Road offer the most practical car access. Children from the area attend Tooradin Primary School or Koo Wee Rup Secondary College, and most shopping and services are accessed in Cranbourne or Koo Wee Rup. The town appeals to those seeking a quiet coastal retreat within a manageable drive of Melbourne.
Warneet falls under postcode 3980 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Bass (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
