A land and house package in Ballarat will aid the local disability service McCallum.

The four-bedroom, brick veneer, located in one of Ballarat’s new areas, will be available for private sale in late July.

Proceeds of the sale after repayment of an interest-free loan will go to the McCallum Foundation.

The foundation was established in October 2003 to help meet the financial needs of McCallum Disability Services, whose programs for people with a disability include adult training support services, supported employment, accommodation and independent living and attendant care.

As well the interest-free loan from the ANZ Bank, the foundation gained the help of a local builder and land developer.

JG King Homes acquired materials through its suppliers under special arrangements and Lake Gardens provided the land under a generous financial arrangement.

McCallum CEO Shane Molloy said that the project offered a tremendous fundraising opportunity.
