A SUBDIVIDED piece of Victorian history has quietly hit the market, in Sorrento.

Richard Shelmerdine, a member of the Myer dynasty, is selling the 1915 square metre development site – until now part of the much larger historic property known as The Sisters, and within the precinct of Victoria’s first European settlement.

In early 2008, the Shelmerdine’s paid $18.4 million cash for the exclusive 1.2 hectare site, which has been in private hands since 1890, and was last owned by eccentric millionaire Peter Rand.

FOR the second time this month, an Asia-based developer has purchased a prominent Victorian golf course, and is proposing to build a $55 million hotel, apartment-based complex and new 18-hole golf course, next door.

An as-yet-undisclosed syndicate, which will be part controlled locally, is understood to have paid more than $7 million for the massive St Andrews Beach Golf Course and Resort, on the Mornington Peninsula.

As well as the Gunnamatta course, a temporary club room and 20 apartments, the purchase includes an adjoining development site, which will yield another 18-hole course, club room, 40-room hotel, licensed commercial premises, and about 120 apartments.
