Herbert Street is an over 55’s Co-operative and as the name suggests it is managed by the members of the community.
Built on the former RSL Bowling Club site situated within walking distance to Dandenong Shopping Centre, the Dandenong market and public transport. There are three main housing blocks that are linked by an elevated walkway accessed via stairs and lifts that connect the dwellings to the ground level and the basement car park and storage area.
There is a mix of two- and one-bedroom units, which feature stepless showers, floor to ceiling sliding doors and reverse cycle air-conditioning. To ease the burden of physically carrying waste to collection points there are garbage chutes on all floors. As a cost benefit a solar boosted hot water system is in all apartments. At ground level vehicle access and parking is only for visitor or emergency vehicles, a basement carpark caters for residents’ vehicles.
Numerous activities are organised by the community for the enjoyment and benefit of all in the village.
