Nice comprehensive post melburn21. Hope it goes ahead, as it will really start the regeneration of the north bank.
CBD > West > Seafarers Place (North Wharf Redevelopment) > 731-739 Flinders St > 17L / 69m / mixed use / u.c
Im not sure if we ever had a specific thread for this... I couldn't find it if we did...
A new mixed use proposal for the North Wharf and Mission to Seafarers site has been proposed by Fender Katsalidis for a 17 level mixed use tower.
The creation of the public open space, Seafarers Rest, is a requirement of the
North Wharf Precinct Plan and the responsibility of the developer. This part of the proposal has been removed from the planning application process and is being assessed by the City of Melbourne’s City Strategy and Place Branch.
The existing permit in place, 2012/002229 allows for the construction of a 14 storey office building with supplementary retail and commercial tenancies. It is sought to amend the permit to provide for the following:
Partial demolition of the existing Goods Shed and construction of a 17 level tower plus mezzanine and roof plant which partly straddles the Goods Shed and comprises of a residential hotel, function centre and apartments with associated carpark and services within the revised building design.
The proposed development continues to be based around the existing historic Goods Shed No.5, with the existing shed structure to be refurbished to provide for a function hall facility fronting on the Yarra River’s wharf edge; and the construction of a 17 level residential and hotel tower immediately behind the shed structure.
The proposed residential hotel component has been designed to target the 4 to 4.5 star hotel market. The lobby and reception areas, as well as a function area (1634m2) associated with the hotel are situated on the ground level, with the rooms, bar/lounge and business centre located on levels 4-6 (inclusive). A total of 231 hotel rooms are proposed.
The amended proposal includes 182 apartments located on levels 8-17 (inclusive) comprising a mix of 1 bedroom (25), 2 bedroom (137), 3 bedroom (18) and 4 bedroom (2).
Shared communal facilities have been provided for within the development and include a health club, residents club and pool located on level 2.
Car parking will be provided in the basement and levels 1-3, with a total of 236 car parks proposed. 181 car parks are to be attributed to the residences, 20 car spaces to the hotel use, whilst 5 spaces are to be set aside for the function centre. The proposal also provides for 118 bicycle spaces and 3 motorcycle spaces.
The building will have a total gross floor area of 53,615 m2.
Amend the conditions of the permit to reflect the new plans and documentation.
In addition to the above, although not part of the application site, the applicant has advised that the nearby helipad will be removed/relocated and a pontoon may be built at the front of the site. This is subject to ongoing negotiations with Parks Victoria, Melbourne Water and the State.
The proposed development comprises:
Dwellings (Levels 8-17)
Total number of residential apartments: 182 ranging in size from 60sqm to 200sqm
One bedroom units: 25 Two bedroom units: 137 Three bedroom units: 18 Four bedroom units: 2

at grade crossing only over wurujuri...pathetic non solution...what world do planners live in in Melbourne? Disaster for the massive and important six lane major urban connector to be brought to a screeching halt for what might be a lone pedestrian.Im not sure if we ever had a specific thread for this... I couldn't find it if we did...

What pedestrian would want to cross that sewer?
Time for some investment and creativity...this is flat footed planning
