House4Health fundraiser reaches major milestone

A LARA property scheduled to go under the hammer for charity next month has reached a major milestone, with the O’Hallorans Road site now holding inspections following the completion of construction.

The Barwon Health Foundation will hold its House4Health charity home auction on Saturday, September 14 at 465 O’Hallorans Road, Lara Lakes Estate, selling the house to one vendor.

The House4Health initiative is the foundation’s largest-ever fundraiser, with all proceeds from the sale going towards Barwon Health and its mission to improve health outcomes in the northern suburbs.

Inspections at the property began as early as last week.

“We have been overwhelmed by the generosity of all who took part in making this dream a reality, starting with the remarkable Lino and Richard Bisinella from Bisinella Developments who donated the Lara Lakes block of land,” Barwon Health Foundation acting executive director Francis Trainor said.

“We are also grateful for the generous support by the wonderful team at Hamlyn Homes who have constructed the stunning property, Bendigo Bank who are long-standing supporters of the foundation and wider community, Jo Boothroyd and her sales team at Ray White Lara and the many contractors, suppliers, trades and more.”

The auction family fun day event will start at 9.30am and will run until 11.30am, featuring an abundance of family activities.

The live auction is scheduled to take place at 10.30am.

The community is also encouraged to bring the whole family for free face painting, giveaways and character appearances.

Bisinella Developments managing director Lino Bisinella said the development company did not think twice about being involved in the charity initiative.

“Once we heard about the Barwon Health Foundation’s vision to support the health of those living in the northern suburbs, we did not hesitate to donate the Lara Lakes block of land where the House4Health home now sits,” Mr Bisinella said.

“We’ve always strived to not only build communities, but to support communities.”

Ray White Lara business manager Zac Boothroyd said the business was excited to play a role in the auction.

“As a locally owned and operated Lara business, our team at Ray White Lara is delighted to be the real estate partner for House4Health,” Mr Boothroyd said.

“Our team has been operating in the region for over 15 years and we can’t wait to see what we can achieve with the auction of the House4Health property, and how we can play our own part in supporting this incredibly important cause.”
