Lendlease partnered with City of Melbourne and Scape to deliver Gurrowa Place, a key component of the Queen Victoria Market Precinct Renewal, improving the trader and customer experience of the beloved iconic market, while celebrating the site’s rich history.
Gurrowa Place will deliver the restoration of the Franklin Street Stores, new community amenity, and the creation of a new public open space at Market Square.
Located south of Queen Victoria Market car park, three responsively designed, climate-resilient buildings offer a mixed-use precinct with workspace, authentic Melbourne dining and retail as well as a dynamic mix of student, build-to-rent and affordable housing.
Appendix M contains the conservation management plan.
This report reviews and revises an earlier Conservation Management Plan (CMP) prepared in 2003 by Allom Lovell & Associates (now Lovell Chen), and updated with an addendum in 2011 (referred to in the document as the 2003/2011 CMP).
Elements of the 2003/2011 CMP are also reproduced in this report. In this most recent review, a significant body of research and further studies which have been undertaken since 2011, are addressed. Section 1.8 includes a list of the more directly relevant recent studies and reports.
