The Development
The Stewart Collective accommodates 69 dwellings and associated car parking in a considered development that melds with its natural surrounds.
The Collective’s environmental initiatives include:
Additional amenities include rooftop garden, external courtyards and a communal library.
The Stewart Collective is located beside the CERES Community Environment Park and the Merri Creek Trail.
Our Work
The development site was an anomaly, being a large former car storage facility and the sole site located within the Commercial 1 Zone and surrounded by a variety of residential zones, and Public Park and Recreation Zone.
No planning controls or policies existed to provide clear direction for the redevelopment of the site and, as such, a contextual response was required. Ratio’s planning team worked with Council to obtain officer support.
While support was not forthcoming from Councillors and objectors, the development proposal received a positive ruling at VCAT.
Project Stages
The Stewart Collective is slated for completion in 2022.
