Built in 1894, the historic fire station at 100-110 Curzon Street, North Melbourne, is now a residential apartment building, containing twelve dwellings, overlooking the communal garden space.
This funding will support 'Phase 2' of the greening project, building on the successful 'Phase 1', where the Owners Corporation received $5,000 as part of an earlier round of the Urban Forest Fund (Habitat Grants projects) to create a habitat garden.
The Owners Corporation are seeking build on the successful 'Phase 1' of the project, expanding green cover to create a refreshing and inviting space for residents, which is respectful to its heritage while increasing the biodiversity and canopy cover of the surrounding area.
