Point Grey

**Point Grey, WA — where the only thing more confusing than the name is the redevelopment timeline.**

Let’s be honest: if you tell someone you’re from Point Grey, they’ll ask if you run a Hollywood production company. And honestly? We wish we did. Our biggest claim to fame is a $12.5 million makeover that’s been in the “planning consultation phase” so long we’ve started naming the council documents.

Yes, Point Grey is getting a glow-up. A brand-new Lorne Aquatic and Angling Club, upgraded walking paths, and “areas set aside for relaxed, casual dining” — which in Australian means one food van that sells overpriced iced coffees and fish and chips that attract seagulls with a death wish. As the Geelong City Deal rolls out its $676 million goodie bag, we’re just hoping they remember to fix the potholes on the way to the “al fresco nibbles” area.

Locals are buzzing about the revamp, which will “honour maritime history and respect the Gadubanud people” — beautiful. But let’s also honour the trailer flow, because if you’ve ever tried to reverse a boat trailer here on a summer Saturday, you know that’s the real cultural heritage site.

**Who’d hate it here?** Anyone expecting a quick coffee. “Relaxed, casual dining” means you’ll wait 20 minutes for a flat white while a cyclist in full Lycra checks their Strava. Also, anyone who doesn’t own a puffer vest. You will be judged.

**Who’d love it?** People who enjoy watching a multi-million-dollar construction project unfold over several years. It’s like reality TV, but with more sand. And fans of Seth Rogen — because if you squint, Point Grey Pictures made Joy Ride and The Studio. We’re basically Hollywood royalty. On a headland. With wind.

Come for the climate-resilient walking paths. Stay for the iced coffee and existential dread about when the works will actually be done. We’ll be here, watching the tide roll in — and the consultants’ reports pile up.
