Development Victoria is another step closer to completing the iconic Fitzroy Gasworks precinct – with a shortlist of developers now invited to submit proposals for the final parcel of housing on the site.
Local Residential, GFM Group, PDG and Hickory Developments have been invited to participate in the Request for Proposal (RFP) process to deliver Parcel A.
Acting Group Head Precincts, Ronan Mellan, said the Request for Proposal (RFP) stage follows a strong response to the initial Expression of Interest (EOI) campaign.
Advancing to the RFP stage is an important step in securing a developer that shares our commitment to delivering well-designed, cohesive housing that integrates with other homes planned across the precinct.

“Selecting the right partner for Parcel A will help ensure we get the best outcome for the community.”
Parcel A is expected to deliver around 350 new homes, including a minimum of 20 per cent affordable housing, and will make up approximately 30 per cent of the total housing across the Fitzroy Gasworks precinct.
It is anticipated that a preferred development partner will be confirmed later this year, following a thorough assessment of proposals.
Inner North Collective Joint Venture, who were selected to deliver Parcels B and C, are progressing design work with plans expected to be lodged for planning approval in the second half of 2025.
Once complete, Fitzroy Gasworks will be home to around 1,200 new homes, including 20 per cent affordable, in one of Melbourne’s most sought-after locations – close to bike trails, trams, schools and jobs.
The site already features the new Wurun Senior Campus and Bundha Sports Centre, with construction on Parcels B and C expected to commence following planning approvals in 2026.
