Upcoming release of the Final Stage and happy new year!

10/1/2022

Comments

 
On behalf of The Cape team, happy new year. Here is a quick summary of progress and milestones at The Cape at Cape Paterson over the past few months.
 
Final stage construction is well underway. Following on from the rapid sell-out of the previous stage, where 65 lots sold in a few months, we have our civil contractor working away on completing the last 42 lots at The Cape, including a variety of homesites with views over waterways and new wetlands, as well as the long awaited home sites on Weathertop Crest. We call these final lots our “unicorn homesites” because they are so exceedingly rare on the Victorian coast, and they are a bit magical, with uninterrupted expansive views across Bass Strait. From Weathertop Crest you can see Cape Woolamai to the West and Wilson’s Promontory to the East.
 
Our team are in the process of constructing new areas of wetlands and waterways in the Final Stage, as well as new sections of walking and cycling paths and new parks. We expect civil works to be complete in the first half of 2022, followed by grass establishment, planting of waterways and completion of general landscape. Stay tuned for the release of our Final Stage lots in the first half of 2022 once the civil and landscape elements are complete.

The Cape in the media – saving money, energy and carbon emissions

The Cape was featured recently in the Australian Financial Review who shone a light on the significant annual cost savings being achieved at The Cape where homes are averaging 8 star energy efficiency (a national first), have efficient all-electric fit-out, solar power and provision for electric vehicle charging. This combination allows our residents to eliminate gas and petrol bills, and slash electricity bills which can help them save over $5000 per annum. The Cape currently has around 10% electric vehicle uptake, which is quite high compared to the rest of Australia where uptake of electric vehicles is currently closer to 1%.
 
Modelling performed by energy efficiency expert Richard Keech indicates that if all homes added an EV to their efficient gas free solar powered homes, savings across the community could exceed $1 million per annum compared to a conventional community with 6 star gas electric homes and petrol cars, as well as around 3400 tonnes of CO2 per annum. $1 million per annum savings across 230 homes is highly significant and is a good news story showing Australian households and communities can move to a net zero future quickly and save a lot of money in the process.
