“The building has a layout and structure potentially suitable for repurposing into homes and mixed-use spaces.”

“It’s exciting to be able to explore this approach to housing delivery which reduces carbon emissions compared to a new build.”

Other options being investigated include partnerships with the private sector to deliver the remaining residential development, ensuring a diverse mix of housing options across the site.

Further investigations will be undertaken by Development Victoria to decide the best approach for the development, with the aim to commence early works to prepare the land in 2025, subject to relevant approvals.

Early community engagement on the draft planning scheme amendment has been valuable in the process so far.

Development Victoria will engage with community and key stakeholders as the project progresses.
