Connewarre (/kˈɒnəwʌri/) is a locality in Victoria, Australia, is located in the City of Greater Geelong and Surf Coast Shire, and is named after Lake Connewarre which is situated immediately to its north-east. Connewarre is a version of "kunuwarra", the name of the black swan in the Wathawurrung language.[2] At the 2016 census, Connewarre and the surrounding area had a population of 788.[1]
Part of the Eastern Precinct of the large Armstrong Creek Growth Area was within Connewarre when urban development began in 2010, but in 2012, when the new suburb Armstrong Creek was gazetted, Connewarre's boundary was adjusted to exclude the area north of Lower Duneed Road and the west of Baenschs Lane, meaning that all of the Growth Area then lay outside Connewarre.[3][4][5]
Settlements near Connewarre include Breamlea to the south, Torquay to the west and Barwon Heads to the east.
