In 2015, Knox City Council identified the 171ha site owned by Boral at 191 George Street, Wantirna South (the Site) as a Strategic Identification Site within its released Housing Strategy. In June 2019, Boral entered into an agreement with Mirvac to provide development services, including the undertaking of numerous expert studies and assessments to determine the sites values, constraints, to develop a shared Vision for the site’s future with Council and to rezone the land accordingly.

The Site is currently zoned Special Use for quarrying and on-site brick production by CSR Limited. Works are now well progressed for the rehabilitation of the redundant north-west quarry in accordance with an existing Work Authority issued by Earth Resources, a division of the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (formerly the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions).

Rezoning the land will enable Mirvac to deliver the shared Vision of a benchmark new residential community in Wantirna South, encompassing a significant extension of the Dandenong Valley Parklands. It will offer a rare opportunity to live a tranquil lifestyle within an unrivalled natural setting surrounded by significant new and expanded regional parklands.

Mirvac formally lodged a Planning Scheme Amendment application to Knox City Council in June 2020, requesting the rezoning of the Site to a combination of General Residential; Mixed Used; Public Park and Recreation; and Public Conservation and Recreation zonings.

Mirvac continues to work closely with Knox City Council and numerous State Government Departments including ,the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action Parks Victoria, the Department of Transport and Planning & Melbourne Water, who will now, together with other referral authorities, consider the application before providing their support for subsequent public exhibition.

Importantly at that time, the community will be invited to provide feedback on the rezone proposal. Mirvac so highly values this community input that it will also seek co-ordinated feedback outside of the formal exhibition process. Interested members of the community are invited now to express their interest and to receive notification of future updates by registering their details below.
