1. ACTIVITY CENTRE STRATEGIC
CONTEXT
The Carlisle Street Structure Plan outlines a number of strategic precincts
within the Activity Centre - largely defined by their land use, role and
function. Of note, the Plan recognises a major urban renewal opportunity
within a significant portion of land positioned centrally to the Carlisle Street
Activity Centre. This area is identified as the Carlisle Street Supermarket
Precinct which comprises the centre’s two major supermarkets and extensive
areas of ground level car parking.
Proximate to the Supermarket Precinct, a number of planned projects are
currently underway. These projects include the proposed Carlisle Street
Public Transport Interchange (Department of Transport- DoT), the Balaclava
Train Station upgrade (DoT), and the Southern Station Car Park – Housing
Project (Port Phillip Housing Association & CoPP). It is anticipated that the
proposed public transport initiatives are likely to commence by 2012-2013.
In light of the abovementioned projects, a Car Parking and Traffic Study of the
Carlisle Street Activity Centre is also currently in progress to assess potential
traffic implications (i.e. loss of car parking, road remodelling etc). It is noted
that the findings of this study should also inform the decision process for
future developments within the area.
