House to deliver health for Geelong community

BARWON Health Foundation’s single biggest fundraising activity in its 21-year history is underway.

The blueprint of the House4Health, which is a four-bedroom Hamlan Home on O’Halloran’s Road in Lara is dug out and ready for construction.

All proceeds from the sale of the finished product will support the health of local families living in Greater Geelong.

Many local businesses, trades, suppliers and community groups have already jumped on board to help deliver the family home, which will be auctioned off in mid-2024.

The giving was kickstarted by a kind donation of a block of land from Lara Lakes Estate, valued at $400,000.

Lara West director Lino Bisinella said he was inspired to gift the property, as a means of giving back to the community.

“It’s exciting to see construction works officially commence on this project that will support healthier futures for Geelong residents, especially those living in the northern suburbs.”

Barwon Health Foundation executive director, Zoe Walters said the project would unite the Greater Geelong community in providing locals with access to great healthcare.

“100 per cent of the sale price of this luxury home, in a sought- after estate, will stay right here in Geelong, supporting the wonderful work of Barwon Health in our community.

“Our goal is to keep the project’s costs – through discount and donations of goods and services, as well as philanthropist support – as close to neutral as possible.”

“We’re so appreciative of the support we have already received from companies like Bisinella properties, Hamlan Homes and PJT McMahon Excavations to get the project to this stage.

“What’s to come will be an exciting large-scale community fundraiser and a beautiful home ready for one lucky family.”

House4Health is located at Lara Lakes at the top of the Lara West Growth Area and borders the existing township.
