Bass Coast has 180 kilometres of spectacular coastline, acres of lush green farmland and many beautiful wilderness areas, which combine to make Bass Coast Shire a unique blend of country, bush and coast. Only 100kms south east of Melbourne, Bass Coast is a fantastic place to live, work and invest.

The Shire's two major industries are tourism and agriculture. Both offer many investment opportunities.

Bass Coast Shire's permanent population is 27,645 but swells to 60,000 during peak holiday season. Residents and visitors alike enjoy the beautiful natural attractions such as great swimming, surfing, and walking facilities. Tourist attractions, such as the Penguin Parade and the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix, are major draw cards to the area.

A renewed interest in the advantages of rural and regional living in the past two to three years has marked Bass Coast as the fastest growing municipality in regional Victoria. This accelerated population growth brings with it many new business and lifestyle opportunities.
