The Old Bellingen Chambers is a grand example of Federation architecture and one of Bellingen's finest investment properties. The Chambers have been fully restored in recent years and as the "Centre of Well Being" are now home to 11 separate tenancies which are fully leased, on annual 5% increases and currently returning a total of approximately $1,000 per week. This rare investment offers excellent returns as well as being a building of historical significance for the region.

The Old Bellingen Chambers were built in 1911 by H.R.Katte for the Bellingen Shire Council who remained in residence until 1983 when they relocated to their current location in Hyde Street. The original foundation stone, laid by the shire president of the day, Mr Black, can still be seen to the left of the main entry.

While the Chambers do not have an individual heritage listing or national trust listing, they are in Bellingen's conservation zone and the heritage council have described the building as being "more decorative than most from that period, and featuring some fine timberwork, including turned timber verandah posts".

The Old Bellingen Chambers is an incredibly solid building that is well loved by residents and visitors alike. It is solid in its construction, having been 'over engineered' from day one, and it is solid as an investment property showing excellent returns with virtually no vacancy factor - in fact there is usually a list of potential tenants who are waiting for an opportunity to lease a room.

The majority of the tenants are natural health practitioners and the services currently offered include massage, beauty therapy, naturopathy, osteopathy and Bowen therapy, and the Chambers are also home for the Bellingen Community Markets, Community Transport and Landcare.

A tenancy schedule is available on request and detailed inspections are by appointment - to arrange an inspection or to make further enquiries, please use the contact details below.
