Community invited to have their say on a new residential community for Kew

Development Victoria is inviting the community to help shape the future of the former VicRoads site in Kew, which is set to become a vibrant new residential community.

Situated in an established area with excellent access to jobs, transport, schools, and green spaces, the site presents a valuable opportunity to deliver much-needed housing close to the heart of Melbourne.

To ensure the development aligns with community expectations, Development Victoria is gathering feedback through a Community Aspirations Report. This report will form a key part of the tender process, helping to guide how the site evolves. Residents are encouraged to share their thoughts by participating in the survey on Engage Victoria.

An interactive map tool is also available, allowing residents to highlight areas in Kew that support community and connectivity, as well as design features they would like incorporated into the new development.

Development Victoria will be hosting two engagement sessions where residents can meet the project team, ask questions, and learn more about this early planning stage. These sessions offer an opportunity to share ideas and help shape the development so it best complements the existing Kew community.
