The Project
An innovative eight storey mixed-use development with a focus on community and housing affordability in the Arden/Macaulay Urban Renewal Precinct.
The Challenge
Maintaining the industrial heritage buildings on-site while responding to urban renewal policy requirements and clear delivery of a broader community benefit to allow absolute maximum building heights to be achieved.
PPP's Outcome
Retaining the heritage buildings in the design response and tackling housing affordability through a pathway to home ownership satisfied Council of the greater community benefit achieved. Through close dealings with various Council departments this avoided VCAT and applied for heights, setbacks and apartment yield were all maintained in the approval.
