Administrators to Recover Just Half of Mowbray’s Debts From Campus Sales

ADMINSTRATORS for defunct western suburb private college Mowbray are likely to recover just half of the school’s $18 million debts from the sale of its three campuses alone.

In what is described as a complicated sale campaign in which value will depend on potential land usage and in particular if the sites can be rebuilt as residential projects – the three school campuses are speculated to be worth a total of about $9 million.

The largest school – the 17.75 hectare Patterson campus in Melton is expected to sell for about $6 million, according to sources. Two smaller campuses in Caroline Springs, including the 1.25 hectare Residential 1 zoned Town Centre Campus at 183-191 Caroline Springs Boulevard, and the 1.06 hectare Brookfield campus at 5 Stevenson Crescent are expected to each reap about $1.5 million.
