Historical information

The city council is inviting public and private expressions of interest for the future ownership and development of Fortuna Villa. This follows a detailed due-diligence process with the Defence Department.

The council wants to understand who is interested, their plans for the site, and their financial capacity to manage or own the property, with or without government support.

The Defence Department conducted thorough investigations into the site's heritage value, environmental status, and the character of its buildings and grounds. The Fortuna Villa Action Group responded to the due-diligence report, focusing on four main areas:

Condition of the buildings and refurbishment/maintenance costsHeritage management plan, including restrictions and opportunitiesIntegrity of the site and landscape.

The site is being offered for sale in good condition, but restoration, refurbishment, and ongoing maintenance remain important considerations.
