276 Ingles Street in Port Melbourne was envisaged as a landmark development from the onset, through a collaborative approach to planning and architecture between Urbis and Studio Kristen Whittle on behalf of our client.
We successfully managed negotiations between the Minister for Planning and Port Phillip City Council, balancing often competing priorities and interests to achieve the best outcome for our client, the site, and the broader Fishermans Bend area. The now-gazetted Incorporated Document results in a substantial uplift in housing (including affordable and social housing), high-quality apartments, as well as places to eat, work, and play in-place. The approval includes public realm improvements to Ingles Street and Anderson Street, and also delivers a new road for the benefit of the broader area.
While Fishermans Bend is in its early phases of planning and development, it will transform Melbourne’s urban fabric and is critical in addressing Victoria’s housing shortage. Fishermans Bend and developments such as 276 Ingles Street will support a more sustainable way to live, work, and play in our city.
