Consultation has concluded

Burnside War Memorial Hospital (BWMH)

Kensington Road, Toorak Gardens

The site and the buildings that the Hospital operates on have been leased from the City of Burnside since 1950.

History of the site

Originally, the Site was gifted to Council by Otto von Reiben in 1944 for the purposes of establishing a hospital.

A portion of the Site was subsequently leased to the BWMH and has been operating as a hospital since 1950. Currently, the hospital buildings are occupied by the BWMH under three registered leases, each of which will expire on 31 July 2016.

Why are you letting me know?

The BWMH is now seeking to surrender the existing leases, and enter into a new 21 year lease for the hospital buildings and associated facilities. A longer lease will provide the BWMH with longer term security and enable them to strategically plan for the future operations of the Hospital.

As the site is classified as ‘Community Land’, any lease for this site that exceeds five years can only be granted after the community has been consulted. This is in accordance with the Local Government Act 1999.

This proposed lease does not include Attunga Gardens. These gardens remain open for the community as unleased public land.

How do I have my say?

Council seeks your feedback on this proposal and you may lodge a submission to Council.

Written submissions regarding the proposal to lease community land should be submitted no later than 5.00 pm on Tuesday 28 June 2016.

You can email your submission via the Email Us tab below.

I need more information

For any further enquiries and details relating to this proposal, please contact Council's Coordinator Property, James Brennan on 8366 4200 during business hours.
