Exciting times

How exciting for all of the folk who live in Soldiers Hill that their house prices are skyrocketing. According to the article in today's (12th of May) Courier, the Real Estate Institute of Victoria advises that they have risen by a whopping 17.5% just in the past year, compared with an overall 4.5% increase across regional Victoria. The article also states that proximity to the Ballarat Train Station makes Soldiers Hill highly sought after, and I am advised the reclamation and development of 40 acres of derelict land and buildings adjacent to Soldiers Hill and right in the middle of Ballarat's Central Business District will be also having a big impact on these price rises. The Soldiers Hill property owners must be delighted with the proposed redevelopment of the Ballarat train station precinct.
