A Prime Opportunity in Victoria’s Southeast Growth Corridor
Strategically positioned in the heart of the booming southeast growth corridor, Coolalinga Farm offers unmatched potential. Just minutes from Officer (VIC 3809) – a suburb that recorded an impressive 8.93% capital gain in the past year and a 23.09% increase in median prices over the last three years—the site sits amid some of Victoria’s highest-growth areas, including Pakenham, Drouin, Cranbourne, and Clyde.
Opportunities like this are scarce. Beyond Berwick, Officer, and Pakenham, there’s virtually no comparable large-scale landholding available for future development or commercial ventures. Adding to its appeal, the former Pakenham Racecourse has been relocated directly opposite this site. As development and commercial activity naturally evolve around the new racecourse, this land is uniquely positioned to become a future goldmine.
