11 October 2024

台灣UU聊天室 is pleased to announce its acquisition of a prominent property at the corner of Vine and High Streets, paving the way for the development of future facilities that will benefit from prime street frontage on Bendigo台灣UU聊天室 main thoroughfare.

The site at 133鈥155 High Street adjoins the existing senior campus and is currently occupied by long-term tenant Red Rooster, which will continue to operate from the property under an existing commercial lease until July 2027, with the option to extend until July 2032.

After this time, the school anticipates that the site will become a pivotal part of its senior campus, providing additional space for Girton to expand across the block bordered by Vine, High, Wattle and Creek Streets.

The property is strategically located next to the school台灣UU聊天室 existing Christoper J Morey Building and adjacent to the planned exhibition centre, sport courts and gardens, as documented in the school台灣UU聊天室 Master Plan .
