Built in 1915, the Casa Elda Vaccari was originally a power substation. Since then, it has undergone a transformation to become a 45 bed low-care residential facility which has accommodated the local Italian community for more than 20 years.
The Gualtiero Vaccari Foundation is now inviting you to submit your proposal to create a new chapter for Casa Elda Vaccari.

The heritage listed property located at 863 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy North in Victoria is available for a long term lease of up to 25 years at a nominal rate for the right organisation.

As part of the commitment to the wider community, the intention of The Gualtiero Vaccari Foundation is to find a tenant who clearly articulates their vision in creating a new future for Casa Elda Vaccari. The Gualtiero Vaccari Foundation will consider significant financial concessions to the right organisation. The suitable tenant will be a registered charity and may come from various community sectors, including, healthcare, respite care, family services, training and education, and community services.

The Foundation will undertake an expression of interest (EOI) process from 3 November 2014 to 30 January 2015 to identify an appropriate tenant.

Shortlisting of candidates will occur in mid-February with interviews of short-listed candidates occurring in late February to early March 2015.

Organisations that are listed with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission can register to take part in the EOI process at www.casaelda.org
Occupancy terms subject to negotiation and approval of the trustees of The Gualtiero Vaccari Foundation.
