                    Amendment C259 Capel Street and Peel Street

                    Application of DDO32 over 120-62 Capel Street and 135-139 Peel Street

                    About the amendment

                    The City of Melbourne has prepared Amendment C259 to the Melbourne Planning Scheme.

                    This planning scheme amendment is required as the selected properties have recently been rezoned from General Residential to Mixed Use Zone, but do not have a Design and Development Overlay to manage built form. 

                    Amendment C259 proposes to extend DDO32 to cover 120-162 Capel Street and 135-159 Peel Street in order to introduce maximum mandatory 14 metre height controls consistent with adjoining Mixed Use Zone properties.  

                    Map of the proposed amendment area

                    The proposed amendment area is between Capel Street and Peel Street, in the block with Queensberry Street to the north and Victoria Street to the south.
