Heading into the next decade, headspace staff hope only to continue providing the support, care and outreach to young people in need. To read more, Turn to page 9
Hope for Gardens conservation, despite being developed between 1929 and 1937. In 2010, restaurateur Shannon Bennett and investor Adam Garrison purchased the Burnham Beeches property and opened the Piggery cafe in 2014. This venture was one in several attempts to develop the estate, which did not eventuate due to financial, planning and approval reasons. The mansion has sat vacant for 36 years, while the gardens have been visited by tourists and locals alike.
In June 2023, it was revealed Trenerry Consortium - represented by The Victor Smorgon Group, The Kanat Group and Trenerry Property - received the go ahead for a masterplan to build a $100 million redevelopment in partnership with global company Six Senses in the wellness and sustainability hospitality operator’s first Australian venture. Heritage Victoria’s application - submitted on 16 February 2023 - proposed the addition of the gardens in the Victorian Heritage Register and updating the statement of significance to ensure the state-level historical, architectural
and aesthetic values of the place are recognised. The proposed extent of registration also includes the estate’s original entrance from Sherbrooke Road, which is currently outside the registered extent. The name of the estate is also set to be changed to ‘Burnham Beeches and the Alfred Nicholas Memorial Gardens’ to reflect the change to the registration, under the application.
