Parcel A is the final parcel of land earmarked for housing within the iconic Fitzroy Gasworks precinct and will deliver approximately 350 homes, including 20% affordable.

Parcel A will be delivered in partnership with the private sector and will contribute approximately 30% of the total housing across the precinct.

The EOI campaign is the first step in a two-stage market process and will run from 18 March to 17 April 2025. Following the EOI, a closed tender via a Request for Proposal (RFP) will get underway for shortlisted bidders.

Parcel A will contribute to the approximately 1200 homes to be delivered at Fitzroy Gasworks which will complement the new Wurun Senior Campus and recently completed Bundha Sports Centre.

Parcels B&C will be delivered by the Inner North Collective Joint Venture (INC JV), who will deliver around 70% of the homes on site.

The construction of the Bundha Sports Centre (formerly Fitzroy Gasworks Sports Centre) is now complete.

Constructed by Built Environs and designed by CO.OP studio, the multi-purpose indoor sports centre, adjacent to Wurun Senior Campus, is a key element of the Victorian Government’s vision for the Fitzroy Gasworks precinct.

The $54.5 million project is a partnership between the Victorian Government who has contributed $49.5 million, and City of Yarra who has contributed $5 million.

The vertically designed sports centre provides much-needed sport facilities to Melbourne's inner north. Local jobs are being put first, with a range of local and First Nations businesses and suppliers delivering the project. Find out more.

The centre comprises of four courts for competition-level basketball, netball, and volleyball; a multi-purpose court for futsal; a gymnasium; café and lounge area; community facilities; all gender change rooms; a foyer and reception area.

Its integration with Wurun Senior Campus’ two courts enables shared use of the courts to create a seven-court facility outside of school hours.

The Bundha Sports Centre was gifted its official name by Aunty Gail Smith and supported by Aunty Di Kerr, Aunty Julieanne Axford and the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation (WWCHAC).

The name ‘Bundha’ means: ‘unity’ and was chosen to reflect how this innovative multi-purpose venue will unite the local community by supporting sports clubs and encouraging more people to get active.

Now that construction is complete, landscaping works will continue, including the installation of public art.

The Victorian Government is seeking to appoint a venue operator. While that process is continuing, Collingwood Basketball Association (CBA) and the City of Yarra Futsal Network will have limited access to the sports centre courts until April 2025.

This will allow this these local associations, who have been struggling to cater for growing numbers, access to the extra courts they desperately need.

It will also help build on CBA’s existing agreement with the adjacent Wurun Senior Campus.

Once a long-term operator is appointed, a separate Expression of Interest (EOI) process will be conducted to enable other local sports to also secure access to the facility.

The selection process for an operator of the venue is expected to be complete in 2025.

Bundha Sports Centre mural

The inspiring mural on the side of the Bundha Sports Centre was designed by proud Wurundjeri man, Alex Kerr and painted by Melbourne-based artists Jack Rowland and Yuria Okamura.

CO.OP Studio, as the designer of the Bundha Sports Centre, assisted in bringing the mural to life. Development Victoria has also worked in collaboration with the Wurundjeri Woi-Wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation to identify engagement opportunities for the site and to co-design the precinct’s public realm.

The mural weaves through themes of Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Country in the background, to represent the lands we are on. It includes Bunjil the Wedge-tailed Eagle, the Creator Being of the Wurundjeri people, and Waa the Raven, the protector. Bunjil and Waa ensure the safety of those in the mural, but they also look after all peoples living and chasing their dreams on Wurundjeri Country.

Alongside these elements, the mural celebrates First Peoples community sporting heroes. Their images provide inspiration to the younger generation coming through, to give them the courage to chase their dreams, no matter the hurdles they face. The mural features images of:

• The late Uncle Kevin Coombs – Wheelchair basketball player and Australia's first Indigenous Paralympian
• Elvis Carter – Grid Iron player
• Courtney Ugle – WAFL Footballer and founder of ‘Waangkiny’, a social enterprise that aims to transform adversity into influence through the power of storytelling
• John Secombe – Wheelchair Football
• Marissa Williamson Pohlman – Olympic Boxer
