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.
NORTHERN DEVELOPMENT

The Bass Coast SPP (Statement of Planning Policy) / DAL (Distinctive Areas and Landscape) Standing Advisory Committee hearings are set to commence soon.

To that end CPRRA have engaged legal representation to argue for the town boundary of Cape Paterson to be brought back to Seaward Drive.
Thanks to previous donations, we already have a substantial fighting fund to pay for this, but this only gives us a limited amount of barrister’s time.

Contribute to the fighting fund!

"We used to set a fishing line at night time, mostly in the lagoons. We got eels out of that… they'd go down to where Badger Creek runs into the Yarra. If eels were running that plentiful they'd make a net and put that in." Martha Nevin, 1969.
