1950+Norlane+area+begins+to+build+houses+for+settlement.


 *  The first 250 homes in the housing commission’s Norlane estate were completed early this year. The estate along with another in East Geelong were the answer to Geelong’s severe housing shortage. The Geelong and district town planning committee approved plans for the whole area in 1947. In May, the Advertiser reported that water would be soon available for all houses in the new Norlane estate. It said 1250 homes were expected to be ready for occupation by the end of the year. In July, it was announced that the next 250 houses in the estate would be prefabricated . || [[image:CORIO_ARTICLE_IMAGE_I0247027_28648[1].jpg width="336" height="143" align="left" caption="Norlane Area"]] ||
