ZED MALUNAT is well known in Deloraine and Meander Valley generally. This is not surprising, seeing he has built or carried out structural work on many of our homes and properties.

As diners cross the threshold of Christmas Hills Raspberry Farm there are probably many who don’t know Zed was the builder of this beautiful restaurant, with its impressive timber rafters, huge stone fireplace, spacious ambience and lakeside view.

This building contract was a huge undertaking that took place between May 1995 and January 1996.

Built by Zed from the ground up, one of its major drawcards is the huge stone fireplace which photos show was the first feature to be erected. Over those 8 months subcontractors were called on to assist during the work as required.

Zed, formally from South Australia, has many strings to his bow and has devoted his life and livelihood to bringing his expertise and extensive knowledge to our area.

He is now in retirement, after many years, and we should all be very grateful for the great legacy that he has given to this region.”
