Pakenham East has all you will ever need, but soon there’ll be even more schools, shops, sports facilities, dining options, parks and community services for Kala residents to enjoy.
A local Town Centre and Convenience Centre are coming, but today you can easily find whatever you need just five minutes away at Pakenham Place Shopping Centre, Pakenham Central Marketplace or the Heritage Shopping Centre, not to mention all the high street retailers.
The central green belt and wetlands will extend beyond Kala. Follow the bike path and walking trail north, to the future non-Government Primary School and Town Centre, or south to the extensive natural wetlands reserve, future Government school, sports ovals and indoor recreation centre.
Four future schools and three integrated community centres with kindergartens and Maternal and Child healthcare are coming, but right now you have a choice of schools for kids of all ages, from Pakenham Heights Kindergarten to Pakenham Primary School, Beaconhills College and Lakeside College.
Whatever your game or skill level, you’ll find a club eager for your services in and around Pakenham. Soccer, tennis, cricket, football, baseball, bowls, hockey, angling… there’s something for everyone. Even if you’ve never played, joining a local club is a great way to stay fit and, of course, to socialise!
The recently opened Pakenham East train station is just down the road. Alternatively, you can be at Pakenham station in around ten minutes or Nar Nar Goon station in just six minutes. With the Princes Highway and Princes Freeway both on your doorstep, getting to and from your Kala home could not be easier.
The Pakenham East Precinct Structure Plan (PSP) was approved by the Minister for Planning. It includes 14 parks, two sports reserves, four schools, and a network of bike and walking paths connecting Kala to Pakenham train station and the new Pakenham East station.
