Mount Eliza at a glance
Mount Eliza is the Mornington Peninsula's most prestigious residential address, a suburb of large, heavily treed blocks (commonly 1,000–3,000 m²), sweeping Port Phillip Bay views from elevated ridgeline sites, and a community of established families and weekenders who have chosen the Peninsula over the city for a reason. Building here is about taking full advantage of the topography, the vegetation and the views: homes that open to the landscape, that orient toward light and water, and that settle into their sites as if they were always there.

Significant Landscape Overlay provisions apply to many ridgeline and coastal properties, protecting vegetation and views of state significance. BAL assessments are required on many sites given the suburb's extensive canopy. Varcon's site feasibility process maps all applicable overlays before any brief is prepared.
