On the road to Geelong

ANZ business relations manager Kartik Nadimpalli says his move from Melbourne’s Maribyrnong to Villawood’s Wandana is about convenience and affordability.

“I’ve worked in Geelong the last couple of years and seen the place growing. I’ve seen people moving here from Melbourne and still going back to work in Melbourne,” he says.

“I’ve got a new role in Colac and the plan is to work a mix of at home in Geelong and at Colac.

“I was looking for vacant land to build, for blocks that were a bit bigger. Wandana was not too expensive compared to Melbourne.”

Kartik is presently working on plans for a family home at Wandana with his wife Mounika and their 16-month-old daughter, Riyana.
