The West Melbourne Structure Plan was adopted in 2005. It provides direction for land use, civic improvements and community facilities in the North and West Melbourne Mixed Use Zone area.
This zone is the area bounded by La Trobe Street to the south, the rail lines and Laurens Street to the west, Arden Street to the north and Curzon and King streets to the east.
The plan also makes recommendations which extend beyond the Mixed Use Zone to surrounding areas.
The Structure Plan covers a range of topics.
- Land use and built form for five precincts within the study area
- Open space and civic improvements
- Improved access to key destinations such as North Melbourne Station, Errol Street, Flagstaff Gardens, Docklands and Central Melbourne
- Reinforces a strong sense of community and appropriate access levels to a diverse range of community services and facilities required by the area's changing population.
