Wonthaggi

Coastal Fields Estate, Wonthaggi offers affordable 4-bedroom house and land packages, just minutes from the Bass Coast beaches and the amenities that drive demand.

Wonthaggi presents a compelling investment case with combination of rental demand, population growth and long-term economic drivers. The area’s 1.1% vacancy rate points to a tight rental market, while its population is forecast to grow by 30.5% by 2046, supporting the potential for continued housing demand as more people choose to live in the area. Wonthaggi also stands to benefit from its proximity to the Gippsland Offshore Wind Zone, Australia’s first declared offshore wind area. The project has the potential to generate up to 15,000 jobs during construction and 7,500 ongoing jobs, creating a significant economic boost for the wider Gippsland region.

Wonthaggi and the broader Gippsland region are benefiting from several major infrastructure and economic projects. The Gippsland Offshore Wind Zone, Australia’s first declared offshore wind area, is positioning the region at the forefront of the emerging renewable energy industry and is expected to generate significant investment and employment. A $600 million Energy from Waste facility will support new jobs and strengthen the region’s sustainable energy infrastructure, while the $530 million Gippsland railway line upgrade is set to improve regional connectivity and transport reliability. Meanwhile, the $290 million Wonthaggi Hospital expansion will increase healthcare capacity and services, supporting the needs of the growing local population. Together, these projects are strengthening employment, infrastructure and essential services across the region, supporting the underlying demand for housing in Wonthaggi.
