Modewarre is a locality in the Surf Coast Shire, Victoria, Australia.[1] The town adjoins Lake Modewarre. In the 2016 census, Modewarre had a population of 276 people.[2]
Modewarre Primary School began as a local Anglican school in the 1850s, became a vested National School in 1859, and closed in 1971.[3]
A post office at Modewarre opened in 1859 and closed in 1967.[4]
The Modewarre Memorial Hall was erected in 1923 in memory of World War I.[5] The Modewarre Avenue of Honour on Cape Otway Road was planted in 1918, and is the last surviving Avenue of Honour in the Surf Coast Shire. Tree number #33 was planted to honour Albert Jacka, Australia's first winner of the Victoria Cross and a Modewarre local.[6]
The town has a football club, Modewarre Football Club, which has existed since 1878. It currently plays in the Bellarine Football League, but formerly played in the Geelong & District Football League.[7]
Construction of a $350 million world-class training and sports health facility at Modewarre was approved by the Victorian government in October 2020.
