About

Milton ward lies on the southeastern edge of Portsea Island, primarily a residential area with a mix of housing from Victorian terraces to modern developments. It is bordered by the city centre to the west and the expansive tidal mudflats of Langstone Harbour to the east. The area functions as a local community hub, with its own high street providing essential shops and services for residents.

A defining characteristic is the presence of Milton Common, a large area of open grassland and saltmarsh that extends to the harbour's edge. This green space is crisscrossed with footpaths and is a local site for nature and recreation. The Locksway Road cemetery, one of the city's main burial grounds, is also located within the ward's boundaries.
