Victorian government lists former Calder Rise Primary School

The former Calder Rise Primary School, covering two hectares, is expected to sell to a residential developer for more than $8 million, sources speculate.

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.

Keilor Downs is about two kilometres further west of the city than Keilor.

Last June, the government arm paid $23 million for a South Melbourne site at 142 Dorcas Street which is earmarked to become a new police station.
