One of the primary characteristics of a university campus is its location in high-amenity, well-connected suburbs, as it caters to the thousands of students who walk through its doors every day.

It’s this enviable central location that makes Hamton’s newest neighbourhood so appealing to discerning buyers. The 1.6-hectare site was formerly home to a University of Melbourne campus.

This relocation paved the way for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/hamton">Hamton</a>, best known for their $3 billion joint venture development Moonee Valley Park, a vibrant new residential community emerging around the Moonee Valley Racecourse.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149097 project_image_fid=327680]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/scotch-hill-gardens-hawthorn-147-robinson-road-hawthorn-vic-3122">Scotch Hill Gardens</a> benefits from excellent transport connections and local amenities, further enhanced by the revitalisation of Bills Street delivered as part of the development. Thanks to its history as a university campus, the site is within five minutes of Glenferrie and Auburn Villages and 10 minutes to Kooyong Station.

In addition, the site lies within the prestigious Scotch Hill catchment, which includes highly sought-after educational institutions such as Scotch College, Bialik, and Auburn Primary and Auburn High. This makes it an attractive location for both young families and working professionals.

Understanding that the location would appeal to owner-occupiers, particularly rightsizers and downsizers, Hamton focused on creating a collection of residences tailored to this demographic. The design prioritised community over density, with a series of low-rise buildings nestled within nature.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149097 project_image_fid=327652]

The development retains 77 established trees on the site and will add a further 151, creating a unique topography visible from the upper levels of the building. A collaboration between placemaking specialists Woods Bagot and landscape architect Tract, the design dedicates over 40 percent of the 1.6-hectare site to landscaped green open space, seamlessly woven between the low-rise buildings.

Landscaping subtly defines boundaries between public and private zones, ensuring a harmonious blend of spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149097 project_image_fid=327686]

Inspired by nature, the masterplan reflects the organic formations of lily pads on a pond, discreet yet interconnected, sitting lightly within their context. Following the principles of “nature-based cities,” the site integrates nature, amenity, wellness, and community.

This commitment to nature complements the already well-established landscape nearby. Adjacent to Gardiners Creek, the site offers both recreational and ecological benefits, while the Yarra River trails, Patterson Reserve, and Hawthorn Velodrome, further enhance the area’s outdoor amenities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149097 project_image_fid=327694]

Residents will have access to a range of facilities, including a bathhouse with wellness amenities, a gym, co-working spaces, and communal dining and lounge areas.

Hamton will announce a builder in the coming months. Demolition of the old Campus is underway with construction on the first stage, anticipated to commence early 2026.&nbsp;

Scotch Hill Gardens, a new life for the former University of Melbourne Hawthorn Campus

Brisbane-based developer Red &amp; Co. is venturing into the Gold Coast apartment market, spending $8 million on a vacant site in Varsity Lake.

The plan is to developer 156 apartments on the 2,857sqm, 22 Lake Street site, near Varsity Central Park.

Colliers Queensland Residential Development Sites Director Troy Linnane said Colliers had been &nbsp;working closely with Red &amp; Co. to help them secure their first Gold Coast site, with this site offering a great opportunity due to its location and existing approval.&nbsp;

“This off-market transaction highlights the value of strong market knowledge and relationships, we were able to align the right buyer with the right site given the relationships we have with many active &nbsp;developers seeking sites across the SEQ market,” Linnane said.&nbsp;

“Those groups with in-house construction capability or strong builder alliances are leading market activity as they are best positioned to deliver projects in the current market."

Linnane said with&nbsp;confidence strengthening in 2025, they are seeing increased competition for prime development sites.

“Developers are actively seeking well-located sites, to take advantage of the under supply of &nbsp;apartment stock and the significant uplift in revenues due to strong buyer demand."

<img alt="22 Lake St" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="fcd9176e-4e38-4519-a868-0748419c1d2b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/22_Lake_Street_001.jpg?VersionId=Z7tUSkVLqv8qf.JTyMXmzasxvudP_u2p" />

Colliers Queensland Residential Site Sales Executive Jackson Robinson said the transaction reflected confidence in the market and increasing demand for well-located, DA-approved sites to develop into &nbsp;housing.&nbsp;

“Red &amp; Co. recognised the depth of unmet demand for well-priced apartment stock on the Gold &nbsp;Coast, particularly in sought-after suburbs like Varsity Lakes, which offers excellent connectivity, expansive views and close proximity to major employment and education hubs,” Robinson said.&nbsp;

There will be a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, with views over&nbsp;Lake Orr and out to Burleigh Headland and the Hinterland, with additional outlooks north towards the Broadbeach skyline.&nbsp;

Red &amp; Co., led by co-founders Keiran Foster and David Laverty, have previously completed several developments across Brisbane.

Red & Co.’s first acquisition on the Gold Coast demonstrates increasing  confidence in the Gold Coast market

Red & Co. plots new Varsity Lake apartments

There’s no slowing down Gold Coast builder-developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/immerse-projects">Immerse Projects</a>.

Led by construction industry veteran John Kearney, the developer has made its move into the Brisbane apartment market, securing a prime site on Sylvan Road in Toowong.

It’s a location filled with nostalgia for Kearney, who studied at the nearby University of Queensland.

"It feels like a full circle moment," Kearney told Apartments.com.au.&nbsp;

“I spent many nights at the Regatta Hotel just down the road — as have most people in Brisbane. It’s one of the city’s most well-known hotels, and with several cafes, restaurants, and a CityCat stop nearby, it’s become an even more attractive place to live.”

Kearney describes Toowong as a suburb with real depth.

"The suburb attracts everyone, from students to retirees, and that's what makes it interesting."

He also noted the opportunity to take advantage of significant view corridors from the new development site: across Toowong Memorial Park, north to the city, and east along the Brisbane River.

CBRE’s Will Carman and John Nucifora brokered the sale of the 1,760 sqm site, citing strong demand for strategically located development opportunities in Brisbane’s inner suburbs.

"Its proximity to transport, retail, and educational facilities made it an opportunity of strong interest to the broader development community," Carman said.

<img alt="22-24 Sylvan Road" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="49eb466f-69dc-4790-8d50-5173d0cf104a" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/22-24%20Sylvan%20%20Rd%20Toowong_Markups.jpg?VersionId=u4_IGzpYLPFfAZSsgCZynov3bm7umwJ." />

Nucifora said the acquisition reflects confidence in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/toowong-qld-4066">Toowong</a>, and more broadly Brisbane, as a market of strength for integrated builder developer groups.

"Those with an integrated model, or with strong existing relationships with builders have continued to be at the forefront of development acquisitions over the past two-year period."

Kearney has long operated Greyburn Constructions, and recently expanded into multi-residential development, with great success. They've delivered a new project in Kirra, and they're currently working towards completion at&nbsp;Ombre Robina. Then they have a new project in Kirra, on Haig Street.

They will submit a development application for Toowong later this year.&nbsp;

It’s a location filled with nostalgia for Kearney, who studied at the nearby University of Queensland.



First look: Immerse Projects moves into Brisbane apartment market with Toowong site acquisition

A track record of delivering new projects not just across the Sunshine Coast, but in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/bokarina-qld-4575">Bokarina</a> specifically, gave builder-developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/gardner-vaughan-group">Gardner Vaughan Group</a> (GVG) all the IP needed to make Bask even more refined.&nbsp;

After completing Zinc Bokarina last year - positioned directly adjacent to Bask - GVG leveraged years of feedback from original purchasers and current residents, enabled by its community-focused approach and ongoing engagement.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141609 project_image_fid=333359]

The feedback pointed to two clear themes: larger apartments with more bedrooms, and amenity suited to the active downsizer.

GVG then designed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/bask-bokarina-38-bokarina-boulevard-bokarina-qld-4575">Bask</a> - a collection of one to four-bedroom apartments - tailored to the end user: local downsizers or those seeking more spacious holiday homes than a compact getaway by the beach.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141609 project_image_fid=333361]

A pool was essential, but a lap pool wasn’t. Instead, GVG designed a heated plunge pool, ideal for a refreshing dip. Key to the amenity offering were shared spaces designed to foster community connection. These include shaded garden areas with barbecue facilities, a firepit zone, and a communal herb and vegetable garden.&nbsp;

There’s also a fully equipped gym, designed specifically for the lifestyle exerciser.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141609 project_image_fid=333365]

Another key insight was the desire not just for pet-friendly living - but for a development that embraces it. GVG listened and installed a dedicated dog wash bay, perfect for rinsing off after a trip to the dog-friendly Bokarina Beach, just 250 metres from Bask's front door.

Having already helped establish a vibrant lifestyle precinct with retail and amenity at Zinc, GVG is now expanding the offering with more street-level retail, set to complement the existing restaurants, wine bars, convenience, and specialty stores in the precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141609 project_image_fid=333362]

Bask represents the final new residential offering in the Bokarina Beach precinct. The two buildings, Mydas and Caretta, have been cleverly designed so that every apartment captures glimpses of either the Pacific Ocean, Lake Kawana, or the Glass House Mountains.&nbsp;

Construction is already underway, with GVG expecting residents to move in by summer 2026/27.

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=141609]

How GVG is designing for the active downsizer at Bask Bokarina

With completion now on the horizon, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-queensbridge-building-southbank-90-queensbridge-street-southbank-vic-3006">The Queensbridge Building</a> in Southbank is beginning to reveal the depth of its amenity and residential design offering ahead of a planned move-in from late 2025.

Developed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/time-place">Time &amp; Place</a> in partnership with MaxCap Group and construction giant&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/hickory">Hickory</a>, the 65-level tower recently topped out at 208 metres, marking a major milestone for the precinct-shaping project.&nbsp;

Once complete, the development will deliver 350 apartments and a 188-room boutique hotel as part of the Collection by TFE Hotels.

We recently visited The Queensbridge display suite, and a recently completed display apartment within the building, and spoke to Time &amp; Place Sales Director, James Herbert, to find out more about the project.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZLV_4kRyuj0?si=ff-i-yjmcdRHQ3Hh" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

Herbert says there are two key points of difference with The Queensbridge.

"The first we call 'modern nostalgia', or the feeling of home. It is one of the reasons we appointed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/flack-studio">Flack Studio</a> to handle the interiors. We studied some of Flack's most famous residential homes, and we've created a series of design moments, from the edge of the island bench to the door hardware and the materiality of the homes."

Apartments range from one to three bedrooms, with current pricing starting from $632,000. Most one-bedroom layouts include integrated study nooks, while select two and three-bedroom configurations feature dual bathrooms and generous storage solutions.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1504 project_image_fid=272073]

Herbert says the second key point of difference is their&nbsp;commitment to community and experience.

"That's one of the reasons why we took our common amenity spaces and we've brought them together in a concept we call Queensbridge Clubhouse.

"We have all of the typical common amenity facilities you would see in any luxury hotel or building throughout the world like a swimming pool, steam room, gym, and outdoor spaces, but we've also got an amazing co-working space,&nbsp;a private izakaya, and a ground-floor dining space."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1504 project_image_fid=272090]

Herbert says the community experience was about bringing&nbsp;people together, so Time &amp; Place has built a bespoke app, and they're appointing an experienced director, to manage the spaces.

"We believe living in the urban environment in a building like this, is about an idea of togetherness, and accessing the very best that Melbourne has to offer."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1504 project_image_fid=272097]

Positioned at 90 Queens Bridge Street, The Queensbridge Building benefits from its location at the confluence of Melbourne CBD, South Melbourne, the Yarra River, and the city’s Arts Precinct.&nbsp;

Residents will be within a 15-minute walk of over a dozen green spaces, world-class sports and cultural venues, and South Melbourne Market

The inclusion of the Hannah St. Hotel adjacent to the residential lobby also introduces a unique layer of amenity, providing additional hospitality experiences that extend the lifestyle value of the precinct.

The former Fitzroy Gasworks site, one of the most prominent sites in the East Melbourne suburb, is set to become a huge new precinct.

The Andrews&nbsp;Labor Government is turning the former Fitzroy Gasworks site at&nbsp;433 Smith Street, Fitzroy North, into a new precinct, with more than 1,000 apartments, a sports centre, a community facility, underground car parking, options for bicycle parking and open space.

It also includes a new 650-student senior secondary campus for Collingwood College and Fitzroy High School, which has already been developed at the site and opened to students earlier this year. The apartments will be built with a strong focus on energy and water conservation, as well as waste management and transport solutions.

Around 200 will be Affordable Build to Rent, to provide high quality housing that will remain available as a rental for the long term.

Active forms of transport will also be encouraged, with all apartments to include two bike parks, as well as carshare options.

Fitzroy North is a diverse community in close proximity to schools, public transport and services, making it a highly desirable suburb to call home. The former Fitzroy Gasworks site is an important part of the area&rsquo;s industrial and social heritage. The registration of interest process is now open to deliver approximately 800 of the apartments at the site, as well as a retail component and commercial tenancies.

A final developer will be&nbsp;selected by the end of the year.

The project&rsquo;s development plan &ndash; which outlines the planning controls, policies and principles that will guide the design and construction of the site &ndash; was released for community feedback last year and has since been submitted for approval.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;re getting on with turning the Fitzroy Gasworks site into a vibrant new neighbourhood &ndash; with affordable housing options, a sports centre, more open space and a high school that&rsquo;s close to public transport &ndash; making it easier for locals to travel,&rdquo;&nbsp;Minister for Transport Infrastructure Jacinta Allan said.

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s great to see the project progressing &ndash; which will benefit the whole Fitzroy community, as well as create hundreds of local jobs.&rdquo;

The former Fitzroy Gasworks site at 433 Smith Street, Fitzroy North, will becomne a new precinct, with more than 1,000 apartments, a sports centre and a community facility

Why park lovers will fall in love with Development Victoria's Luma in Sunshine North

<h2>Media Release</h2>

The Victorian Government’s massive upgrade of the State Netball and Hockey Centre in Parkville has begun.

Premier Daniel Andrews, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events, Martin Pakula and Minister for Women Gabrielle Williams visited the Centre today to mark the start of construction on the new home for netball and hockey in Victoria.

The upgrade will replace the existing outdoor netball courts with six new indoor courts, a new indoor hockey facility, upgraded change facilities, a creche for parents playing at the centre, and a high-performance strength and conditioning gym. It will also build a new northern entrance, better connecting the centre to public transport.

The new state-of-the-art facility will cater for all levels of competition – providing playing fields for grassroots teams and a major training base for elite athletes in both sports – and be a world-class venue to host major state, national and international tournaments like the Hockey Pro-League.

The Victorian Government has appointed contractor Kane Constructions to deliver the project, with close to 30 jobs to be created during construction. The project is scheduled to be complete in 2021.

The Centre is used by more than 6,000 people every week – 80 per cent of whom are girls and women.

The project is part of the $241.6 million package unveiled by the Victorian Government last year – the biggest investment in women’s and community sport in Victoria’s history. On top of the State Netball and Hockey Centre upgrade, the package includes:

<ul>
<li>$20 million to redevelop Ikon Park into the home of women’s football</li>
	<li>$13 million for Stage 2 of the Moorabbin Oval redevelopment, to build a range of community facilities and deliver upgrades that will enable the Saints AFLW team to play there from 2020</li>
	<li>$10 million to improve playing conditions at Casey Fields and Whitten Oval for AFLW competition</li>
	<li>$2 million for infrastructure upgrades for AFLW at Victoria Park.</li>
</ul>
Development Victoria is proud to be partnering with Sport and Recreation Victoria and the State Sports Centre Trust to manage the redevelopment.

A range of milestones have been achieved in <a href="/developments/docklands-vic-3008">Docklands</a> in 2018, with over one million square metres of commercial floor space and 10,000 apartments delivered or under construction, signalling how far the precinct has come. <a href="/news/development-victoria-appoints-geoff-ward-to-lead-its-precincts-team">Development Victoria’s Group Head Precincts, Mr Geoff Ward</a>, said the level of investment in Docklands by both the private and public sector was a vote of confidence in the precinct.

Construction continues on both commercial and residential towers which sustains between 2,500 and 3,000 jobs for Victorians which is remarkable.”

Milestone year in Docklands

<html><body>
The Andrews Labor Government has committed to delivering a senior secondary campus for Collingwood College and Fitzroy High School on the site of the Fitzroy Gasworks, should it be re-elected in November. $84 million will be allocated towards building a senior secondary campus as part of the Fitzroy Gasworks Precinct, increasing the capacity of both schools, allowing at least 650 extra students.

Design work is already underway on the vertical school after the State Government allocated funding in the Victorian Budget 2018/19 towards planning and design of the new senior campus. The project would create around 250 new jobs during construction, with the campus opening in 2022.

The campus would add to the vertical schools completed or underway in Victoria including the South Melbourne Primary School in Fishermans Bend, Prahran High School, and the two campuses of Richmond High School. Planning has also commenced on a further vertical secondary school within the Wirraway Precinct of Fishermans Bend, adjacent to the JL Murphy Reserve.

Image: Development Victoria" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Before and after - the indicative master plan for the Fitzroy Gasworks site. Image: Development Victoria</figcaption></figure>The former Fitzroy Gasworks site is located at 433 Smith Street and is bounded by Smith Street, Alexandra Parade and Queens Parade. The 3.9 hectare site forms an integral component of Fitzroy North’s industrial and social heritage vision for the site is to create an urban village that combines housing, educational and recreational uses complemented by open space. 
On 19 July 2018, the Minister for Planning, Richard Wynne approved a Planning Scheme Amendment to rezone the Fitzroy Gasworks site from Public Use Zone (PUZ1 and PUZ6) to Mixed Use Zone and Public Use Zone (PUZ2). The site rezoning allows for the development of a vibrant mixed-use development supported by community facilities and public open space. The Minister for Planning will be the responsible authority for the site, with final designs requiring approval from his office in accordance with the new Development Plan. 

The redevelopment of the site is being managed by Development Victoria on behalf of the State Government, with the government body progressing the development of the site, including managing the site’s remediation. According to Development Victoria, The Fitzroy Gasworks' location, coupled with its proximity to transport corridors, public transport, centres of economic activity and open space make it ideal for a medium density mixed-use development. 

The site is contaminated due to its former function as a gasworks and remediation of the site will require excavation of up to 12m of soil, which will be transported to a facility where it will be treated and disposed of. A Remediation Action Plan is currently being drafting and subject to EPA approval, remediation of the site could commence in early 2019 and is expected to take up to two years to complete. 

Following community consultation undertaken by Development Victoria between 2016 and 2017, community and stakeholder feedback has been used, along with other information to develop a concept master plan for the site, with the following elements expected to comprise the final design for the precinct:

<ul>
<li>1,100 apartments, 20 per cent of which will be social/shared equity/affordable housing</li>
	<li>a 650-student senior high school to provide extra capacity for students from Collingwood College and Fitzroy High School</li>
	<li>a six-court sports facility integrated with the school and catering for a range of sports</li>
	<li>a community facility to be developed in consultation with council</li>
	<li>all site car parking to be located underground, with bicycle parking above ground</li>
	<li>eight per cent of the site to be offered as public open space, with additional open space associated with residential development </li>
	<li>adaptive reuse of the Valve House and relocation and restoration of the Porter Iron Store (subject to approval by Heritage Victoria</li>
</ul>

<blockquote>
Families across the inner-city deserve to know their kids will be able to go to a great local school. With this new senior secondary campus, delivered as part of the Fitzroy Gasworks Precinct, Labor will make sure they do. Whether it’s here in the inner city, or right across the state, Labor is building new schools so that every child has every chance.”

When it comes to our schools, there’s no clearer example than Fitzroy High. The Liberals cut and close, Labor invests.

The Andrews Government commits to vertical school at Fitzroy Gasworks site

<html><body>
Development Victoria has appointed Geoff Ward, the former General Manager of the Fishermans Bend Taskforce to the new position of Group Head, Precincts. In his role, Geoff will oversee state-shaping projects such as Docklands, Revitalising Central Dandenong, Junction Place in Wodonga and the former General Motors Holden Site site within the Employment Precinct of Fishermans Bend.

Almost 19 years ago, Geoff was overseeing the construction of what was then known as Docklands Stadium, before heading abroad to work in the Middle East for a period of time, then returning as a Docklands development manager. A stint at the Fishermans Bend Taskforce followed in 2016 and he has now come full circle, set to lead a team that will play a key role in the redevelopment of the recently re-named Marvel Stadium in Docklands, amongst others.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public//pictures/article-images/docklands_aerial_shot.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Aerial view over Docklands from September 2018. Image: Ryan Seychell"><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="387" src="/sites/urban.melbourne/files//styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/docklands_aerial_shot.jpg?itok=sc9RvW0t" title="Aerial view over Docklands from September 2018. Image: Ryan Seychell" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Aerial view over Docklands from September 2018. Image: Ryan Seychell</figcaption></figure>Between 1996 and 2000, Geoff managed the tendering process, the design and the construction of what was then Colonial Stadium representing a significant milestone and anchor for Docklands. Geoff was also previously at Places Victoria (now Development Victoria) working in the Precincts and New Business Divisions before taking on the role of General Manager of the Fishermans Bend Taskforce in 2016.

There is much more “hustle and bustle" in Docklands now particularly at street level, Geoff observes. He is just as equally impressed with the amount of development that has occurred and the ongoing construction activity throughout the precinct, with a significant number of large scale developments currently underway. It has definitely come a long way, he says.

<blockquote>
It is useful to have a good knowledge of the projects that I am back working on and it is exciting to see how far they have come. Given I worked on Docklands previously, it is also pleasing to see the transformation of the precinct. I can really see the vision for Docklands coming to reality. It works exceptionally well as a mixed-use precinct and strikes a balance between the large corporates who have relocated to this end of town and the 10,000-plus residents who now call Docklands home.

Docklands is well serviced by public transport and was always designed to be an extension of the CBD and it is close to achieving that goal. There is a real confidence in Docklands which is highlighted by the fact that construction is continuing on a range of commercial spaces such as Lendlease’s Melbourne Quarter, Walker Corporation’s Collins Square and the redevelopment of AsheMorgan’s The District Docklands.

- Geoff Ward, Group Head, Precincts at Development Victoria 
</blockquote>

More than 58,000 people now work in Docklands and in the past year alone, over one million square metres of commercial floor space has either been delivered or is currently under construction. For Geoff there are two specific projects he wants to see become a reality – the new <a href="/news/docklands-primary-school-concept-revealed">Docklands Primary School</a> on Docklands Drive, and the <a href="/news/etihad-stadiums-redevelopment-to-improve-links-to-cbd-and-victoria-harbour">State Government and AFL's Marvel Stadium redevelopment</a>, encompassing Harbour Esplanade and Central Pier.
