Melaluka - A New Community Building Project
Karingal has purchased a property at 191 Melaluka Road Leopold and is planning to build a new residential respite and day support facility.
Its location is ideal for this type of development with a short, flat trip to and from the Gateway Shopping Plaza, and public transport and the Leopold Memorial Park close by.
Melaluka will support hundreds of Geelong and Bellarine Peninsula people and their families with respite and short term accommodation every year.
