After being used as a non-retail break-out area by students at Taylors College for years, the 280 square metre space, formerly identified in the street by its dark tinted window-film, has been sub-leased to a unique new business which hopes to make an impact on Hardware Lane, considered one of the city’s highest character strips.

THE owners of a 26-hectare Phillip Island farm, until three years ago owned by AMP Capital Investors and earmarked to become a retirement village, have applied to Bass Coast Shire Council to remove the entire aged-care component of the proposal.

The owner of the site paid AMP a reported $8 million for the Ventnor Road block and a permit for a 184-lot residential subdivision.

A major aged-care complex and community facilities were required to be developed as part of that permit. However, the council will now decide on whether to issue a new permit resulting in the entire farm, about three kilometres south-west of the centre of Cowes, being subdivided into 304 standard residential lots.
