Did you know that the Cremorne private school Redlands has been purchasing homes and properties surrounding its campus, and that they now wish to purchase Monford Place from the North Sydney Council?
In the past three years alone, Redlands, a private school in Sydney’s north shore, has made it their mission to purchase a series of homes and properties near their campus. After going on a multimillion-dollar spending spree, the school was able to obtain a grand total of 12 new properties — including residences in areas such as Military Rd, Monford Place, and Winnie St.
The school currently owns all the properties on Monford Place, and now they are vying to close Monford Place to the public. Redlands made an official request to the North Sydney Council to consider its potential for sale after meeting with them in February. If approved, the school will have to pay a $50,000 bond to bankroll an investigation into the potential road closure and sale process.

School representatives commented that the incorporation of the Monford Place Road into the school’s boundaries would help them develop a master plan for the site due to its increased flexibility. The Council is currently considering the school’s request, and in the event that their request is approved, the process would take at least 12 to 18 months to complete.
Redlands can be found at 272 Military Rd, Cremorne. For more information on the school, visit their website here. Follow their social media pages on Facebook and Instagram for the latest updates and announcements concerning their bid to purchase the properties and roads surrounding their campus.
