Welcome to the Cape Paterson Residents and Ratepayers Association
We are a group of residents, ratepayers and members who have come together to achieve mutually held goals built around the protection and betterment of Cape Paterson.

UPDATE: March 2025

NORTHERN DEVELOPMENT

Last step to save Cape Paterson – your support was substantial and appreciated!

On 18 December the Victorian State Government released a revised proposed ‘Protected Settlement Boundary’ (PSB) for Cape Paterson, no longer including the farming land north of Seaward Drive.

This reduced boundary is what our community has been campaigning for so strongly and for so long. Thanks to those who added your voice  to those that agree with this decision to revise the boundary back.
We are hoping to hear the result later in 2025.

Survey has completed January 28 2025

Biderap Dry Season

January - February

Hot, dry weather.
High temperatures and low rainfall.
Female Common Brown butterflies are flying.
Bowat (tussock-grass) is long and dry.
The Southern Cross is high in the south at sunrise.

"I don't know why, we used to play around the tussock grass. Playing hidey. So they must have been big enough to hide around. And it was nothing to see a snake curled up inside the tussock grass."
Dot Peters, 1999.
