Construction for a new South Melbourne Police Station is underway, delivering improved facilities for Victoria Police and a better public realm for the local community.

Our planning, transport and waste teams secured development approval for a new purpose-built police station in South Melbourne.

The project

The City of Port Phillip granted approval in 2025 for a new South Melbourne Police Station, delivering a contemporary facility for Victoria Police’s South Melbourne branch. Designed by Bamford Architects, the project replaces the existing station and provides upgraded workplace facilities designed to better support both staff and the local community.

The proposal includes a range of operational and public-facing spaces suited to a modern police station, alongside a public realm upgrade incorporating streetscape landscaping, safety infrastructure, seating and urban art. Together, these elements will contribute to a safer and more engaging streetscape outcome.

Early works commenced in late 2025, with construction now underway.

Our work 

Ratio’s planning team managed the development application through to approval with the City of Port Phillip, providing strategic advice throughout the process and coordinating the assessment in response to statutory requirements.

Our transport team prepared transport planning advice to support appropriate access, servicing and operational outcomes within the surrounding urban context.

 

Our waste team assisted with the design of the waste storage area and prepared a waste management plan tailored to Victoria Police operational requirements and aligned with Council waste guidelines.
