The Project
The three storey, three dwelling development over a basement is situated off the busy Kooyong Road. The site is heritage graded as ‘significant’ due to the front fence being a remnant element of the former Oma mansion. The mature pine within the front setback of the site is also historically significant as a remnant example of the formally extensive Oma Estate gardens.
The residential development is situated within walking distance of education and sporting offerings, Burnley Gardens, and connected public transport routes.
Our Work
Our planning team worked through the initial application phase to gain support at a council officer level which included changes to the design of the building and envelope. Other challenges included meeting the heritage considerations for the site, including to the front fence and large cypress.
This decision was overturned at a Council meeting and our team reached an agreement with objectors and council at compulsory conference, mediated by MinterEllison, following a VCAT hearing.
