‘The government has identified examples of what it says should be emulated around the state: they include the Merri four-storey apartment project by Six Degrees Architecture in Northcote; the Averi five-storey apartments in Hawthorn by architects Jackson Clements Burrows; and the six-storey Balfe Park Lane in Brunswick East from architect Kerstin Thompson.’
Minister for Planning of Victoria, Sonya Kilkenny comments:
“The community deserves affordable buildings that look great on the outside and feel solid as a rock on the inside. Our plan is for more grand designs but without the grand cost.”
“We have an incredible opportunity before us to renew our suburbs and streets with well-designed apartments and townhouses that are great for singles, families and downsizers – and which add to the architectural fabric of our state.”
