Description

Highton is a residential suburb of Geelong, Victoria, Australia. It is bordered by Ceres and Wandana Heights to the west, the Barwon River to the north and east, the former Kardinia Creek to the south-east, and the Princes Highway and Pigdons Road to the south. An outer western suburb of Geelong, Highton is at the centre of a high growth area on the southern banks of the Barwon River. In spite of the growth, however, the area retains its spacious charm thanks mainly to an expansive green belt which flanks both sides of the river. The river and the green areas combine to make Highton one of the most desirable, up-market suburbs in Geelong. In the 2011 Australian census the population of Highton was 16,657 when there were 8,567 Females and 8,090 Males living there. The median age for people living in Highton was 41.
