Victoria sold heritage hospital land to Channel Nine for A$1m; MPs seek answers

The sale of Jacksons Hill, a historic psychiatric hospital, to Channel Nine for A$1 million has sparked significant debate. Critics argue over the valuation and the absence of a competitive bidding process. With three heritage-listed buildings included, any redevelopment will demand meticulous restoration to comply with heritage regulations. The government’s intent is to maintain the site’s legacy while also promoting investment in the surrounding area.
