There isn’t long left for locals to have their say on the proposed plans for the Albion Quarter.
With online feedback open until Sunday, July 28, and an in-person opportunity from 7am to 9am at Albion Station on Tuesday, July 23, time is running out for residents to have their voices heard.
The Albion Quarter identifies the area surrounding Albion station and covers areas within the suburbs of Albion, Sunshine North and Sunshine. It is one of the three distinct areas of the Sunshine Precinct.
It presents an opportunity to revitalise employment uses, provide complementary residential uses and better integrate the area with the rebuilt Albion Station.
The Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) said it is planning to capitalise on significant transport investment to grow the area as the heart of Melbourne’s west.
“We have commenced work on a Structure Plan which will support the transition of Albion Quarter from the current mix of industrial-focused businesses to supporting Melbourne’s next generation of jobs, innovation and services, and provide a space for new residential dwellings close to public transport and active transport connections,” DTP said.
The DTP is also investigating design options to revitalise Stony Creek in Albion Quarter as an ecological and community place with integrated water management. This will result in a creek concept design and opportunities for potential funding and delivery.
A draft plan for the Albion Quarter will be put together after the engagement period closes on July 28, and will be released to the community and other stakeholders for further consultation.
