About Wimbledon Heights

Wimbledon Heights is a small residential locality situated in the centre of Phillip Island in Victoria's Bass Coast Shire, approximately 138 kilometres south-east of Melbourne CBD and 4 kilometres south of the island's main town, Cowes. With a population of around 421, the locality is compact — covering just 0.34 square kilometres — and is nestled among farmland in the island's interior, just north of the world-famous Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit. Bass Coast Shire Council governs the area, which forms part of the broader Phillip Island tourism and residential precinct.

Despite its small size and quiet, farmland-surrounded setting, Wimbledon Heights benefits enormously from Phillip Island's rich attractions. The Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit, home to the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix (MotoGP), is immediately to the south, while the Penguin Parade at Summerlands Beach, the Koala Conservation Reserve, and Anderson's Inlet are all within a short drive. Cowes, just 4 kilometres north, provides supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, schools, and ferry connections to the mainland. The island's road bridge at San Remo provides easy access to the Mornington Peninsula and Melbourne.

Wimbledon Heights falls under postcode 3922 and is governed by the Bass Coast Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Monash, while state elections fall under the Bass (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
