Mount Eliza is an outer suburb 48 kms south-east of Melbourne, in Victoria, Australia; just 7 kms from the City of Frankston.

The town centre is known as Mount Eliza Village and is the main shopping area for the suburb. It is situated at the intersection of Canadian Bay Road and Mount Eliza Way. The village is a bustling centre of activity and is well served by many businesses.

The Mount Eliza Lions Club conducts their meetings on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month at 7.00pm.

The Club meets at the Mornington Country Golf Club, in Tallis Drive, Mornington.

The Mount Eliza Lions Club was established in 1969 and we currently have 30 members, made up of both men and women with the common objective of contributing to the community.

Our support covers all facets of community life here on the Mornington Peninsula and the wider world in which we live.

Fund raising and community service

To generate funds for the provision of services to the local and wider world community, we give of our time to such diverse activities as:

• the promotion and running of major fund-raising events

• provision of labour and services for community events put on by the Mornington Peninsula Shire and commercial organisations i.e. Mornington Food and Wine Festival, Australia Day etc

• regular local sausage sizzle stalls

• sales of Christmas cakes, social events, etc.

All funds raised are through the voluntary efforts of the Lions Club members, and over the past several years, these funds have been dispersed to a broad range of needy organisations and groups:
