1.0 Introduction
This report has been prepared by Metropol Planning Solutions to support a planning permit
application for a part five, part six-storey residential apartment development at 347-367 Macaulay
Road, Kensington (the subject site).
The subject site is located on the south western corner of Macaulay Road and Bent Street and is
currently occupied by a single storey brick and metal warehouse which extends across much of the
site. The subject site is located within the Arden-Macaulay Urban Renewal area and is a prominent
corner site at a key east gateway into Kensington. The subject site is located at the interface of a
number of zones, reflective of the diverse range of uses that occur within the immediate surrounds.
The proposal presents an opportunity to provide a significant increase in housing in a location highly
accessible by public transport, being only 100m from Macaulay Railway Station. Additionally, the
subject site is located 300m east of Kensington Railway Station.
The proposal strongly supports the vision for this area as set out in the Arden-Macaulay Structure Plan
and the Melbourne Planning Scheme and relevant housing strategies, such as the Future Living
strategy.
The architectural and urban design approach is based on a clear understanding of the urban context
and preferred neighbourhood character for the subject site and its surrounds. The materials chosen
demonstrate a contextually appropriate and responsive development that references the industrial
history of the area through the use of face brickwork and metal cladding.
The dwellings have been designed with owner occupiers and families in mind, comprising 18x3
bedroom lower loft apartments, 23x2 bedroom apartments and 14x3 bedroom loft apartments. The
dwelling mix and size sets this project apart from the majority of residential apartment projects within
the City of Melbourne. According to the Future Living strategy prepared by the City of Melbourne less
than nine percent of apartments within the municipality feature three or more bedrooms, therefore
the development will contribute to the diversity of the dwellings in the area.
The project responds to the design objectives outlined in proposed Amendment C190 to the
Melbourne Planning Scheme which seeks to implement the Arden Macaulay Structure Plan. The
proposal will contribute positively to the streetscape and assist in transforming this part of Kensington
from its former industrial use, to a vibrant mixed use area.
The State and Local Planning Policy Frameworks of the Melbourne Planning Scheme provide
considerable support for the redevelopment of the subject site for a residential development of the
scale proposed.
