The Allan Labor Government is another step closer to completing the iconic Fitzroy Gasworks precinct - with a shortlist of developers now invited to submit proposals for the final parcel of housing on the site.
Minister for Development Victoria and Precincts Harriet Shing today announced that Local Residential, GFM Group, PDG and Hickory Developments have been invited to participate in the Request for Proposal (RFP) process to deliver Parcel A of the Fitzroy Gasworks development.
Parcel A is expected to deliver around 350 new homes, including a minimum o
f 20 per cent affordable housing, and will make up approximately 30 per cent of the total housing across the Fitzroy Gasworks precinct.
The Request for Proposal (RFP) stage follows a strong response to the initial Expression of Interest (EOI) campaign and will determine the preferred development partner to deliver the last residential parcel within the precinct.
A preferred development partner will be confirmed later this year, following a thorough assessment of proposals.
Inner North Collective Joint Venture, who were selected to deliver Parcels B and C, are progressing design work with plans expected to be lodged for planning approval in the second half of this year.
Once complete, Fitzroy Gasworks will be home to around 1,200 new homes, including 20 per cent affordable, in one of Melbourne's most sought-after locations - close to bike trails, trams, schools and jobs.
The site already features the new Wurun Senior Campus and Bundha Sports Centre, with construction on Parcels B and C expected to commence following planning approvals in 2026.
As stated by Minister for Development Victoria and Precincts Harriet Shing
"This is another important step forward for the Fitzroy Gasworks site, which is right in the heart of one of Melbourne's most vibrant and in-demand suburbs."
"This final stage is an opportunity to further increase the precinct's energy, sustainability, and housing diversity, and selecting the right development partner will help us to deliver the lifestyle and connections that young Victorians and their families want."
