The site of the former Half Moon Caravan Park in Brooklyn is on the market, going to auction with a $3 million-plus price tag and planning approval for 28 warehouses.
The property was previously sold before auction in 2010 when it was believed to have fetched close to its pre- auction estimate of $2million.
Prior to the 2010 sale, the Miller family had owned the land at 1-9 Millers Road since the 1880s.
The caravan park was built in 1956.
Current selling agent JLL is quoting more than $3million for the site, which is now vacant following the caravan park’s closure.
Hobsons Bay council worked with ISIS Primary Care, Cohealth, the Salvation Army and other outreach services to rehouse 73 residents into alternative accommodation.
JLL director Cameron Hunter said the 5022-square-metre site was prominently located with frontages to Geelong Road, Francis Street and Millers Road.
“Opportunities like this don’t come up very often, so we’ve had very good interest in the first two weeks of the campaign,” Mr Hunter said.
“The site provides flexibility in that it has a permit for 28 warehouses already, but due to the exposure … we’ve also had interest from service station groups, self-storage operators and childcare facilities. We’ve had 65 inquiries in one week.”
An on-site auction will be held at noon on July 28.
