| Unique beauty and character are an everyday feature of the areas within the Colac Otway Shire - one of the most picturesque municipalities in the State. The geography of the Shire varies from lush plains in the north to the rugged and beautiful Otway Ranges in the south with its spectacular coastline.
As the gateway to the Great Otway National Park and the Western Plains, Colac is the largest town in the hinterland region and is the commercial centre for the Shire’s vast range of industry and primary producers.
The Great Ocean Road includes huge cliffs, roaring seas, tranquil coves and safe swimming beaches. It passes through a number of coastal villages including Kennett River, Wye River, Skenes Creek and Apollo Bay. The Great Otway National Park form the backdrop to these popular holiday destinations.
The Hinterland of the Great Ocean Road holds a wealth of opportunity for visitors, settlers and investors alike. A diverse population of people with a range of skills and backgrounds makes up the population of the 21,000 people who reside in the municipality.
