Sold! No use, so house goes

BOROONDARA council

has voted to sell a Balwyn property because it cannot think of a community use for it.

The house, at 47 Talbot Avenue, is likely to be sold with the condition that any new development is limited to a single dwelling.

Council bought the house in 2006 with a view to extending the Evergreen Centre, a senior citizens’ facility next door, but has decided instead to spend $2.2 million upgrading the centre.
