Moolap suburb profile

Moolap is a bayside suburb on the northern shore of Corio Bay in the Greater Geelong area, characterised by coastal wetlands, saltmarsh and a low-density, semi-rural feel. The coastline and open paddocks give the suburb a quieter, more spacious character than inner Geelong, and housing tends to include older weatherboard cottages, farmlets and modest modern homes on larger allotments. Parts of Moolap have an industrial presence, so residents rely on nearby Geelong suburbs for major shops, schools and services. Outdoor life centres on walking and birdwatching along the foreshore and enjoying the coastal fringe while still being within reach of the city.
