The Borough of Queenscliffe is a local government area in the Barwon South West region of Victoria, Australia, located in the southern part of the state.

[citation needed] Queenscliffe is the last borough remaining in both Victoria and all of Australia and was the only LGA not to have been subject to changes to its boundaries and/or name in the Victorian local government restructure which took place between 1993 and 1995.

Liberal Premier Jeff Kennett, in explaining his reasons, stated: It was my view initially that Queenscliffe should have been included.

[8]Kennett explicitly denied that this was the case: ..the honourable member for Melbourne said, that Queenscliffe happens to be more conservative than Labor in its make-up of population.

[9]Labor member George Seitz suggested a more innocent reason: The Borough of Queenscliffe has not been included in the proposed amalgamation probably because of the number of elderly retired people in the area.

[10]Overall, the reasons for Queenscliffe being excluded remain unclear, and the range of opinions may perhaps best be summarised by Peter Loney's quip: ...we are not sure why it was omitted.

Some people suggest the uniqueness of Queenscliffe has a lot to do with the number of influential Liberal Party members living at Point Lonsdale who have exerted pressure.
