The MITS Boarding House project located at 371 Church Street in Richmond involves the demolition of an existing building (circa 1920 and 1980) and the construction of a new two-level administration and boarding house including one level of basement for the Melbourne Indigenous Transition School (MITS).

Kane has a strong partnership with MITS that continues to strengthen. Following the successful completion of the MITS Boarding House Refurbishment at 139 Richmond Terrace, and most recently the MITS Boarding House Refurbishment at 364 Church Street, Kane is delivering the new build at 371 Church Street at cost.

MITS is a residential transition school for young Indigenous students from remote and regional communities who aspire to get a great education away from home. Each year their school and boarding program delivers a Year 7 program to 22 students, who from Year 8 onwards transition to Melbourne partner schools across independent, government and catholic sectors.
