72 Somerville Street

Flora Hill VIC 3550

Given the current state of the existing home, you may wish to secure the property and seek a new permit from Council to demolish the outbuildings and the home. If the property were to be returned to vacant land, you may be able to secure a new permit to build new townhouses including a potential fourth in the area in front of the existing home.

You may prefer to secure the property for a single modern residence, retaining or replicating the period style façade. Compliment your new home with landscaping, shedding, a pool, and outdoor living areas. You may also wish to create a dual occupancy (STCA).

The neighbourhood is also characterised by business / commercial uses which have been permitted under the Residential 1 Zone with access to Somerville Street. You may wish to contact the City of Greater Bendigo Planning Team to investigate the feasibility of obtaining a planning permit for a business use, with provision for your own private on-site carpark.

The property is within comfortable walking distance of central Bendigo, the Railway Station, and La Trobe University. Here you will enjoy close proximity to allied health services and pharmacies. As well as schools, child care options, Kennington Reservoir, supermarkets, specialty stores, gyms, cafes, playgrounds, and bushland. Comfortably walk or catch the bus to all that's on offer at Kennington Village, Strath Village and Strath Hill shopping and services.
