Our local community depends on the wisdom and experience that seniors positively contribute each and every day. The guidance provided to current and future generations is vital to the continued development of our communities. Stories of hard work and sacrifice remind us that we must equally work hard to build upon the foundations set by older generations to continue to help make Australia a great, prosperous nation. It is vital that our nation gives back to our Seniors through the provision of health care, respite and rehabilitation facilities, aged support and employment services; together with advice and assistance for self-funded retirees. I am proud to represent you and your interests in Federal Parliament. I hope the Kooyong Seniors’ Guide is of assistance in providing important details on available services in our local community and their contact information. If you require any additional information or any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Richards was commissioned to build a residence for Roy William Newton, an engineer, in 1935.1 The nine roomed, brick residence was estimated to cost £2,850.2 Newton continued in residence until at least 1952.3 (G Butler, Camberwell Conservation Study 1991) Description & Integrity The Roy Newton house, at 177 Glen Iris Road, is a nine-roomed, two storey house in clinker brick relieved with glazed tapestry brick at the doorways and the curving front gate reveals. It has a projecting central wing, like a deepened break front but stepped out in two layers. The ground floor layer is enclosed with iron framed windows that curve at each end, and is topped with a flat roof forming an upstairs balcony with brick and wrought iron parapet. The first floor wing juts out behind this, again lined with cantilevered iron-framed windows. A north-facing wing has a rounded end below a half-conical roof wing. All eaves are boxed with spaced planking and conceal their guttering behind large fascias. The roof is clad in terra cotta shingles and punctuated by two brick chimneys patterned in a symmetrical Art Deco design. Similar Art Deco patterning appears over the front door, using Roman and other brick textures.
