Arden Precinct
‒ Colleen Peterson, CEO
The Structure Plan
The Arden Structure Plan and Amendment C407 initiates the urban renewal of the Arden precinct ahead of Metro Tunnel’s Arden Station, set to arrive in 2025.
The Plan will transport the inner-city area into a cohesive and flourishing north-west Melbourne precinct that supports the delivery of around 8ha of open space, including proposed local parks, a primary school and a health facility.
Our Work
Colleen Peterson, CEO, was asked to undertake a peer review of the Amendment and its key documents, advising the Victorian Planning Authority (VPA) on the final form and content of the planning scheme amendment.
She prepared expert evidence for the Standing Advisory Committee, analysing and reviewing the significant project and providing strategic analysis that will ultimately transform the northern edge of the city and expand Melbourne’s central city.
During the process, issues such as buffers to industrial land use, height, overshadowing of public spaces and competing land uses challenged the achievement of a strategic vision for a precinct that would encourage innovation and employment.
We look forward to watching the Arden precinct contribute positive urban outcomes for those living, working and visiting the area.
