Victoria’s Department of Treasury and Finance is offering another site, this time in Keilor, in Melbourne’s north-west.

About 18 kilometres from the city, 32A Green Gully Road, on the north-east corner of Solomon Drive, is being marketed by Melbourne Acquisitions Dominic Gibson and James Latos.
The site has aspect over the neighbouring King Solomon Reserve.
Non-residential developers, including from within the aged care sector, are also prospective suitors.
