A home in Delmont Avenue, and adjacent to Ms Gillard’s back fence, has been listed for sale asking between $550,000 and $600,000.

The South Australia raised Gillard paid $140,000 for her Altona home (pictured, right) in 1998 – the year she was elected to represent residents in the safe ALP seat of Lalor where Altona sits.

Ms Gillard's property portfolio also includes a flat in the Canberra suburb of Kingston, which was her ACT base before moving to The Lodge last September.

 

]]> About a year ago, Hobsons Bay council rejected calls to include Ms Gillard’s Altona home on the heritage protection list, alongside other landmarks including the MCG and Flinders Street Station.

Ms Gillard has previously said a waterfront mansion on Altona’s Esplanade is her dream home.

Scott Murdoch from First National Real Estate Barwon McEwan Tribe in Altona, is marketing the Delmont Avenue home.
