The Victorian government has begun the search for partners to redevelop a huge parcel of land near Melbourne’s CBD, as it approved the construction of seven high-rise apartment towers in the eastern suburbs.
The premier, Jacinta Allan, on Monday announced the government had invited expressions of interest from private sector, industry and investors to turn the 13.5-hectare (33.4-acre) site in North Melbourne, two kilometres north of Melbourne’s CBD, into a new housing precinct dubbed Arden.
