Victoria Police Pays $23m For South Melbourne Supersite
Victoria Police has out muscled “many major developers in the city”, according to sources, to snare a South Melbourne island site held for 50 years by electrical wholesaler L&H.
The state government is paying $23 million for 142 Dorcas Street, marketed as one of the suburb’s “biggest, best and last” building blocks.
With frontage to Eastern, Sturt and Tope streets, and a laneway, the 2714-square-metre site is set to make way from next year for a sophisticated police complex set to service the booming city fringe area.
