Community Facilities
The Cape is one of Australia’s most amenity-rich and sustainable communities. Our 40-hectare site is a haven of recreational and community facilities designed for people of all ages and abilities. Around 50% of The Cape is dedicated to open spaces, including large and small parks, restored wetlands, waterways, habitat areas, and an off-leash dog park. These areas provide ample opportunities for relaxation, recreation, and connection with nature. Here’s a glimpse of what you can enjoy at The Cape:
Explore kilometres of granitic sand walking and cycling paths that connect all parts of our community. These paths invite residents to step out into the beautiful coastal environment, meet friends, and enjoy stunning ocean views over Bass Strait. From some of our elevated parks, you can see Mt Oberon in Wilsons Promontory and Cape Woolamai in Phillip Island. A walk at The Cape takes you through ocean views, wetlands, creek lines, large and small parks, the community farm, sports facilities, and down to local surf breaks and safe swimming beaches.
Who needs a gym membership when you can walk and cycle every day on kilometers of walking and cycling paths.

Significant efforts have been made to restore what was once a cleared cattle farm into thriving wetlands and wildlife habitats. Today, The Cape is home to koalas, kangaroos, echidnas, and over 130 bird species. Detailed observations of our thriving wildlife populations can be found at a wildlife blog called Cape Chatter, written by one of our residents David Hartney.
The main car park in the community is equipped with a Tritium electric vehicle fast charger, complementing the electric vehicle charge points as standard in all homes in the estate. This supports our commitment to sustainable living.
