Highett

Highett is a thriving bayside suburb of Melbourne, located just 15km southeast of the CBD within the City of Bayside. Perfectly positioned between Hampton and Cheltenham, Highett enjoys easy access to the Nepean Highway, South Road, and the Frankston Metro line, giving it rapid connections into the city as well as down to the Mornington Peninsula.

Highett is home to around 11,400 residents (2024) and is forecast to grow steadily, thanks to its mix of leafy residential streets, vibrant shopping strips, and proximity to the bay.

The suburb is buzzing with life. The redeveloped Highett Shopping Centre and lively café culture along Highett Road make it a local hotspot for business and community. Holmesglen Private Hospital and Moorabbin Airport are just minutes away, while Southland Shopping Centre offers one of Melbourne’s largest retail and entertainment precincts nearby. Highett Reserve and the surrounding parklands provide green open spaces, while Bayside’s beaches are only a short drive away.

No wonder Highett locals are smart, ambitious, and business-minded. They love to connect, collaborate, and grow together — which makes Fresh Networking the perfect fit.

Fresh Networking helps Highett’s business owners make More Connections, with Less ‘Blah’. Our Highett hub brings together like-minded professionals who build trust, strengthen relationships, and generate business referrals in a fun, supportive environment.

If you’re a business owner or professional in Highett who values genuine connections and community, Fresh Networking Highett is your local place to belong.

The Highett hub meets every other Wednesday. Come along as our guest, and you’ll be welcomed with a smile, a coffee, and plenty of fresh new connections.
