EVEN non-believers visiting the new Bible College of Victoria headquarters in Wantirna, may find themselves praying Melbourne drivers don’t veer off the highway, and into the building.

The Melbourne School of Theology, which is the new name for the Bible College, has paid a speculated $8 million to owner-occupy the prominent 1.94 hectare suburban office which was for a long-time pink, and the headquarters of cosmetic company Nutrimetics, which was acquired by Tupperware in 2006, then relocated to Ferntree Gully.

VicRoads Applies to Convert Freeway Wedge Into Housing Estate

May 11, 2011 Marc Pallisco eastlink, government action, VicRoads, Wantirna

IN AN environment where government bureaucrats and planners behave like Melbourne has less land for redevelopment than London, it’s no surprise VicRoads is trying to flog off a poorly located site beside the junction of three busy highways.

VicRoads has requested to rezone two parcels of land known as 25 and 55 Burwood Highway, in Wantirna, which it compulsorily acquired to build the Eastlink tollway, but no longer needs.

The affected land is well serviced by transport – abutting the busy intersection of Burwood and Mountain highways, and Eastlink, about 25 kilometres east of the CBD.
