Who's excited about the new development on the old Bradmill Estate?

since I moved to Yarraville 6 years ago, I have seen the empty development site change hands 3 times. The current owners (a Chinese development company) have received approval from Maribyrnong Council to delay commencement of work for another 2 years. Stinks of delay tactics to me. The website www.yarravillegardens.com.au lists the site as up for sale. Council should do the responsible thing and force development of the site instead allowing owners to leave it empty until it is onsold yet again for their profit.

It does look like it will be a good development that includes some of the heritage listed buildings. I do like the incorporation of warehouse styled living and offices too. I bet those with homes already established across the road will be ecstatic. They're house prices will go up.

I feel for those who buy houses along the train line though. It's freight and will have trains going at all times throughout the day and night.

I've attached a link to the concept document.

Maribyrnong Council can’t give an answer

when will they finally start the development???

This place really should be heritage protected for its role in cultivating Melbourne's underground rave scene

When are they going to start building there? Its sat vacant for 10 years and the old buildings are crumbling away with neglect and vandalism!
