The finishing touches are being completed to the four-bedroom, double storey 6-star energy rated home that will be auctioned as a fundraiser to aid The Northern Hospital. The Carlton Football Club is pleased to be working with VicUrban, The Northern Hospital and Orbit Homes in this exciting community project.
The home, situated in the Aurora housing development in Epping North in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, is part of the most sustainable housing development of its kind in Australia.
On Sunday Carlton mascot, Captain Carlton, made a special visit to the house to help promote the charity auction that will take place on Saturday September 13th. Monies raised from the auction of the house will allow The Northern Hospital to purchase additional equipment. The population growth in the north of Melbourne means The Northern Hospital plays and even greater importance as a key public healthcare provider in the region.
The home will be open for inspection at Aurora in Epping North on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th September between 1:00 and 2:00pm and again on Wednesday September 10th between 5:00 and 6:00pm.
The fundraising auction will be held on Saturday September 13th at 11:30am.
