Our shire offers a rewarding lifestyle change and is one of the most picturesque municipalities in
Victoria, covering a diverse area from volcanic lakes, craters and plains in the north, through the
hinterland forests of the Otway Ranges to the Great Ocean Road coastline.
Colac is the key industrial, commercial and service centre for the shire and surrounding region with
a population of 12,000. Apollo Bay is the other major urban centre with a permanent population of
1,000 that swells to over 15,000 during the summer season.
If you’re interested in working alongside the Colac Otway community, engaging in local projects and
helping to make Colac Otway Shire the great place it is, work with us!
