Mattana - Mount Duneed

Mount Duneed sits within the Armstrong Creek Urban Growth Area — one of Victoria's largest contiguous greenfield corridors (about 2,500 hectares, per the City of Greater Geelong) — planned by the City of Greater Geelong for roughly 22,000 homes and up to 65,000 residents alongside about 22,000 projected jobs. Greater Geelong reached an estimated 295,052 residents at June 2025 (ABS ERP / id.com.au) and is forecast to keep growing. Projections are prepared by the Council and .id and may vary.

The suburb is roughly 10 km south of Geelong's CBD with V/Line rail access via nearby Marshall Station toward Geelong and Melbourne, while the Surf Coast (Torquay, Bells Beach) is a short drive south. The Princes Highway and Ring Road corridors link the wider Geelong region, and the Armstrong Creek Precinct Structure Plans commit to public transport, paths, retail and community infrastructure.

Housing demand in the corridor has been supported by population growth and families relocating from Melbourne and within greater Geelong. The Armstrong Creek median house price was $680,000 in the 12 months to March 2026 (CoreLogic via Your Investment Property). As with all markets, outcomes vary with property, conditions and timing, and rental expectations are not guaranteed.
