New research carried out has revealed that the suburbs voted most liveable in Melbourne in 2005 is quite different to those in 2011. In fact the trend has been from the East to the West of Melbourne.

While reading this, I wondered how the Aireys Inlet to Eastern View area would stack up?

Following was the liveability criteria in the survey.

Close to the beach

Close to the CBD

Public Transport

Galleries and Theatres

Fewer congested roads

Close to schools

Shops

Open space

Hills

Cafes and restaurants

Low Crime

Lets look at these more closely.

Beaches – the top five suburbs that rose the most in the ten years were Maidstone, Docklands, Ripponlea and Seabrook. How do I think access to the beach from these areas compares to here? No contest.

Close to the CBD – Who wants to be? Smog, traffic, congestion. The less said the better really…

Public Transport- Granted we fell down a peg or two here, but there is a seven day a week bus service running up and down the Great Ocean Road linking with the Melbourne train in Geelong.

Galleries and Theatres- we don’t have to pay for ours. When it comes to man-made galleries and theatres we fail miserably, but for natural ones? Our whole region is an ever changing gallery of rolling hills, white sandy beaches and moody seas.

Fewer Congested roads – Hello? There is one set of traffic lights between Torquay and Warrnambool. Next question please.

Close to schools – We have the highly regarded Aireys Inlet Primary School right here, with the Lorne High School a short trip away and some of the country best Private Schools less than an hour away in Geelong .

Shops- Well you can get the essentials at the Aireys Inlet General Store along with usually the cheapest petrol on the coast but the range and prices are not highly competitive.

Open Space – We are surrounded by National Park on one side and the ocean on the other!!

Tree coverage – See previous comment about the National Park.

Hills – Does the Great Otway National Park sound familiar??

Cafes and restaurants – We have Skinny Legs and Truffles for your regular fare and the highly regarded A La Greque for something a little more extravagant.

Low Crime – A friend of mine recently had his laptop stolen from his car. He was livid. He said after living here for twenty years he might have to consider locking his house and car when he was away. Only problem was he had never owned a key for his house!

So on the whole I think we stack up pretty highly on the liveability scale. Top marks in all the categories that really matter..
