North+Shore+Estate

In 1947 permission was given for the housing commission to receive 600 acres of land. The land was to be used for a new housing estate, which many people believed would make huge effect on the housing crisis. This was because it was estimated to fit 2,000-2,500 houses on it. But although it helped, in the long run it only made a small dint. Today Northshore, like the rest of Geelong, covered with houses.
