North Melbourne Urban Renewal Precinct

The City of Melbourne is welcoming feedback on Arden, a new urban renewal precinct in North Melbourne.

The mixed-use precinct known as Arden will transform a 56-hectare area into a new commercial and residential hub, which will become home to 15,000 residents and create more than 34,000 jobs by 2050.

With the new Arden Station at the heart of the precinct, the inner-city hub will be a new destination for Melbourne, creating ongoing stimulus for Victoria’s economic recovery.

“Arden will advance Melbourne’s strengths as a progressive, innovative and connected local and global city. The new Arden Station will catalyse Arden’s transformation into a new employment hub. There will be significant opportunities for better and diverse ways of working, living and learning, as it evolves from an industrial area into an innovation precinct.” – Arden Vision

—————–

Arden is less than 2km from the Melbourne central city and is divided into three sub-precincts (as set out in the plan for Arden ):

- Arden Central consists mostly of government-owned land and will contain the new Arden Station and a large new public space.
- Arden North is characterised by wide, tree-lined streets, small-scale industrial buildings and the North Melbourne Recreation Reserve.
- Laurens Street is characterised by wide, tree-lined streets and a mix of industrial sites, heritage buildings and low-rise apartments and terraces.
