The project
Located in the heart of Kew, Foley Park takes a thoughtful approach to boutique residential development. The six high-end apartments over basement car parking feature tactile materials including textured render, hit-and-miss brickwork, and natural stone. Large-format glazing frames views across Foley Reserve, while deep eaves provide privacy and passive shading.
The result is a design that balances contemporary expression with timeless form and responds to both O’Shaughnessy Street and the nearby reserve.
Our Work
Our planning team supported Callex Group from site acquisition through to permit approval, providing strategic planning advice throughout the entire process. We managed extensive negotiations with Council, successfully facilitating a Notice of Decision to grant under delegation. Through strategic application management and close collaboration with legal support at VCAT compulsory conference, we achieved permit approval for our client.
Our transport team prepared the Transport Impact Assessment report and provided specialist input into key design elements for the project. This included optimising the curved basement ramp to the on-site car parking, carefully balancing flood management requirements with the protection of established street trees along the O’Shaughnessy Street frontage. Our involvement ensured a functional, compliant, and context-sensitive transport outcome for the project.
Our waste team prepared a waste management plan for the development, which included a shared basement bin room designed for efficient source separation of general waste, commingled recycling, organics, glass, hard waste, and e-waste. The waste system supports convenient resident access, aligns with Council requirements, and enables on-site private collection by 6.4m mini rear loaders to minimise impact on O’Shaughnessy Street.
