Smeaton Grange. Helicopter rides over estate

The Iron Bark Industrial Estate, at Smeaton Grange, is taking a novel approach to attracting new businesses to the area. Until June 30, free helicopter flights are being offered to business-owners who are considering moving their premises to the estate. Investa Property Group development manager Nick Greenwell said the company had decided the flights would be the best way to show what Smeaton Grange had to offer.

Smeaton Grange. Multi-purpose property sold

A property in Smeaton Grange’s industrial zone, previously owned by Alive Church Incorporated and used as a multi-purpose sports/recreational centre, has been sold at auction for $2.52 million to an undisclosed buyer. The property fell into the hands of receivers PPB in November 2010. The property consists of a 3000-plus square-metre warehouse on 12,490 square metres of land and is flanked by industrial heavyweights Onesteel, Bridgestone and Coles Myer. Knight Frank helped broker the deal.
