Leopold is a residential suburb in Geelong, located in the state of Victoria. It sits about 11 km east of Geelong’s city centre and around 86 km southwest of Melbourne, with the postcode 3224.

Leopold is often referred to as the “gateway to the Bellarine Peninsula”, thanks to its position along the Bellarine Highway, making it a convenient link between Geelong and popular coastal towns like Ocean Grove and Queenscliff.

The suburb has grown into a family-friendly residential area, with a population of over 13,000 people. It offers a mix of housing, local shopping centres, schools, and community facilities, making it attractive for families and commuters seeking a quieter lifestyle close to both the city and the coast.

Historically, Leopold was originally known as Kensington before being renamed in 1892 after Prince Leopold, the Duke of Albany. It began as a rural settlement and gradually developed into a suburban community, especially with growth from nearby industrial areas and Geelong’s expansion.

One of Leopold’s highlights is its natural environment. The suburb is surrounded by wetlands and waterways, including the nearby Lake Connewarre, which is internationally recognised for its ecological importance. Parks, reserves, and walking trails—such as the Bellarine Rail Trail—add to its outdoor lifestyle appeal.
