    Page 1 of 40 Management report to Council Agenda item 6.8 Ministerial Amendment C370 Treasury Square Council Presenter: Emma Appleton, Director City Strategy 26 May 2020 Purpose and background 1. The purpose of this report is to seek endorsement of the City of Melbourne’s submission (Attachment 2) to the combined planning scheme amendment and planning permit application for subdivision prepared by the Minister for Planning for Treasury Square (Attachment 3). 2. Amendment C370 and the accompanying planning permit application affect 295-357 Wellington Parade South, which is a portion of VicTrack-owned land south of Wellington Parade South and Flinders Street, and extending from the eastern edge of Batman Avenue/Citylink to just beyond the eastern edge of Spring Street. 3. The Planning Scheme Amendment is to rezone the land to Capital City Zone Schedule 1 (CCZ1); apply Design and Development Overlay Schedule 10 (DDO10); apply the Environmental Audit Overlay (EAO); and refer future applications to VicTrack and the Department of Transport. Schedule 12 to the Parking Overlay (PO12) and the City Link Project Overlay (CLPO) currently apply and are intended to remain. The Planning Permit application is for a subdivision into two lots, with a number of parts. Key issues 4. This is a significant and strategic site in central Melbourne, adjacent to the Hoddle Grid, with a frontage to Flinders Street and Wellington Parade South, and adjacent to an established inner city neighbourhood. Development on this site will be highly visible along the Yarra River corridor. The site is highly encumbered by transport infrastructure, including railway lines and substations.

Fitzroy - Gentrification - case study in urban development and redevelopment Competition -find this and identify why I chose this? Introduction: http://www.visitvictoria.com/Regions/Melbourne/Destinations/Fitzroy Perch in a Brunswick Street bar and celebrate the way that sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same in this inner northern enclave. While inevitably undergoing inner-city gentrification, Fitzroy has retained its creative edge thanks to a great mix of art galleries, studios and specialist bookshops. Idiosyncratic bars pop up on Smith Street; Marios, Polyester and Brunswick Street Books still call Brunswick Street home; and Johnson Street continues to flaunt its Spanish heritage, especially during the November Hispanic Fiesta. Meander through menus across Fitzroy's eat streets. It's all ooh-la-la at Brunswick Street's Madame Sousou, Bon Ap' and Shifty Chevre, and Latin lovin' on Johnston Street, where Los Amates has been resident since long before the Mexican wave. Meat-free Mondays make sense at Transformer, the Veggie Bar, Smith & Daughters and Grumpy's Green. Get yourself to Gertrude Street for Andrew McConnell's menus at Cutler & Co., Ricky & Pinky and Marion, for all-in-the-name Belle's Hot Chicken, or for an early start at Birdman Eating and Archie's All Day.
