About Pakenham South
Pakenham South is a rural-residential locality on Melbourne's outer south-east fringe in Cardinia Shire, south of Pakenham.

The locality's character is quiet, spacious and strongly tied to rural lifestyle living.
Residents typically access major services, schooling and employment through nearby Pakenham and surrounding growth-corridor centres. Lifestyle is centred on larger properties, open landscapes and a slower pace compared with denser metropolitan suburbs. Public transport is limited locally, with rail and frequent bus networks reached via Pakenham township. Pakenham South appeals to households seeking space and semi-rural living within reach of Melbourne's outer commuter belt.
