Intention to sell

We’re seeking your feedback regarding the proposed sale of the property at 78 Osborne Street, South Yarra.

Formerly known as the George Gahan Elderly Citizens Club, this site was most recently utilised as a service that delivered meals, including food preparation and catering delivery facility. The property has been vacant since the centre closed in 2024 when all clients were transitioned to services contracted by the Australian Government.

A review has identified no other Council service use for the property.

At our July council meeting, it was agreed to undertake community consultation to seek feedback on the potential sale of the property.

The proposal is that Council sell the property and that any proceeds from the sale be invested in the Open Space Reserve Fund and set aside to for replacement open space within the local area.

The proposed sale will be subject to the rezoning of the Land from Public Use Zone to Neighbourhood Residential Zone or such other zoning as determined by Council.

Please note feedback must be received by 11.59pm on 26 October 2025.

Following the conclusion of this consultation, a report will be presented to Council for consideration.
