I have been instructed by Best Hooper, on behalf of Berjaya Developments Pty Ltd, to prepare expert heritage evidence which addresses the heritage aspects of the proposal to grade the site as “Contibutory”, as a consequence of the Guildford and Hardware Laneways Heritage Study prepared by Lovell Chen in May 2017, as a consequence of Melbourne Planning Scheme Amendment C365. 2. The previous Property Schedule included in the Guildford & Hardware Laneways Precinct Citation graded the building as Contributory. In effect it graded the east wall abutting Niagara Lane but not the façade addressing Little Bourke Street which Lovell Chen had indicated was not of any significance. Subsequently the Amendment C271 Panel recommended that “Chart House” be included within HO1205 with a Non-contributory grading. When HO1205 came into effect on 12 August 2019, No. 372 – 378 Little Bourke Street was included within HO1205 but with a Contributory, rather than with a Non- contributory grading and on an interim basis as a consequence of Amendment C355melb. This change in grading appears to have been influenced by correspondence from Melbourne Heritage Action which put forward new information about “Chart House”. It is now proposed, as a consequence of Amendment C365melb, to include No.

  • Ordinary Meeting of Council 18 March 2020
    ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 18 MARCH 2020 14.6 AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL ACADEMY OF MUSIC - LEASE PROPOSAL FOR SOUTH MELBOURNE TOWN HALL EXECUTIVE MEMBER: CHRIS CARROLL, GENERAL MANAGER, CUSTOMER AND CORPORATE SERVICES PREPARED BY: ANTHONY SAVENKOV, HEAD OF PROPERTY PROJECTS 1. PURPOSE 1.1 To outline an assessment of a proposal from the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM) to lease the South Melbourne Town Hall, and to recommend a response to that proposal. 2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2.1 The Town Hall is an extraordinarily significant building – a grand architectural presence that shapes the character of Emerald Hill, helps tell the story of the City’s history, and provides a focal point for community gatherings and events, including musical concerts. It is an irreplaceable asset. 2.2 Due to its limited functionality, the local government reforms of the 1990s, and the subsequent expansion and upgrading of the St Kilda Town Hall, the South Melbourne Town Hall serves a far more limited civic role than it once did – at least in the sense of a home for government and public services. 2.3 The most fundamental way to ensure its ongoing place in the community is for it to be used sustainably and to its potential. This is irrespective of who manages it. 2.4 Sustainable uses of the building are limited. For a tenant it has many positive features and attributes – such as its large total floorspace and architectural appeal. Countering this however, are its archaic and inefficient layout, high operating costs, poor natural light, limited views, no off-street parking, and its location outside the suburb’s central activity areas (of Clarendon Street, South Melbourne Market).

I have been instructed by Rigby Cooke, on behalf of Meydan, to prepare expert heritage evidence which addresses the proposed change to the grading of No. 5 Havelock Street, St Kilda as a consequence of Amendment C161port and the existing grading of No. 9 Havelock Street, St Kilda. In response to the Amendment, Meydan submitted, inter alia, that both places should be removed from the Heritage Overlay i.e. HO5 the St Kilda Hill Precinct, St Kilda. In “Section 3 – Submissions raising objections and requesting changes – submissions all proposed to be included in C161port – Part 2” of Council’s Summary of Submissions and Recommended Responses (pp. 70 – 71) Council’s response to Meydan is viz.: Strategic importance of site Noted. Council officers have previously engaged in conversations with Meydan Group about the potential to redevelop the Cosmopolitan Hotel at this site within the existing planning controls and have provided without prejudice comments on noncompliant proposals. In line with previous advice provided to the Meydan Group, a review of the planning controls and potential contribution of this site to the St Kilda Activity Centre (noting the site is located at the edge of the Acland Street retail strip and is within the General Residential Zone) is outside the scope of this amendment and would be more appropriately explored as part of the development of the St Kilda Activity Centre structure plan.
