Good News!

Thinking of moving to The Cape? If so, you’ll find yourself in a fast growing part of Victoria, and Bass Coast is attracting the infrastructure, services and education spending to match. This all points to many great options across recreation, sport, learning and education for families moving into The Cape.

The Cape is situated on the Bass Coast, just 10 minutes’ drive from the busy regional hub of Wonthaggi. The Bass Coast region is particularly inviting for families with a range of childcare, early childhood education, primary and secondary schools on offer. Wonthaggi and nearby Inverloch also have cinemas, skate parks, golf courses, art schools, dance classes and countless sporting clubs to suit all the kids. 
 
Cape Paterson attracts a range of full time residents including teachers, nurses, skilled creatives, designers, academics, tradespeople and other professionals. Some folk who live at The Cape also chose to split their time between Melbourne and their idyllic lifestyle on the coast, as all homes within the development are connected to high speed NBN with fibre optic cable right to their home. 
 
There’s much more to Cape Paterson and surrounds than just the stunning beaches and the relaxed lifestyle. If you’re considering childcare and schooling options, take a look at some of the options below:
