Leftfield Lifts Cover on 14-Storey Scheme at Camberwell

Developer Leftfield Property has filed plans for a mixed-use tower in Melbourne&rsquo;s Camberwell with the Victorian Department of Transport and Planning (DTP). --> As Melbourne continues its densification push, Camberwell could be next, with a 14-storey mixed-use proposal from Leftfield Property now before the state’s planning authority. Leftfield’s proposal for the 1392.5sq m site at 691-693 Burke Road, Camberwell, 10km east of the Melbourne CBD, would deliver a 14-storey tower over three basement levels pending approval. The Warren and Mahoney-designed tower would have 57 apartments, 313sq m of retail and 1924sq m of office space. Leftfield has submitted the proposal to the Victorian Department of Transport and Planning’s Development Facilitation Pathway that requires 10 per cent of the housing be allocated as affordable. There would be 32 carparking bays on the first basement level, 39 carparking bays on the second basement level and the 42 carparking bays on the third basement level. Each basement level would also have eight bicycle storage spaces. The ground floor would have one retail tenancy, five carparking bays and 26 bicycle storage spaces. End-of-trip facilities and office space would be on the first and second floors. The third to seventh floors would have two one-bedroom, one two-bedroom and four three-bedroom apartments each. The eighth and ninth floors would have one one-bedroom, one two-bedroom and four three-bedroom apartments apiece while both the 10th and 11th floors would have one two-bedroom and two three-bedroom apartments each. There would be two three-bedroom apartments on each of the 12th and 13th floors with 244sq m of communal amenity on the rooftop level. There would also be an eight-storey wall on Burke Road for the 47.93m tall building. ▲ The site includes two buildings that would be demolished pending planning approval as part of the proposal. The proposal would require that two existing buildings, a five-storey building at 691 Burke Road and a four-storey building at 693 Burke Road, be demolished prior to construction. The site is within the Camberwell Junction Activity Centre, part of the Victorian Government’s recent push to increase high-density housing around Activity Centres . Title deeds submitted with the application show Paul Andrew McCann owns 693 Burke Road. A company Blintast Pty Ltd is listed as the proprietor for 691 Burke Road but there is a purchasing agreement listed with Newmagoo Pty Ltd dated to October 2024. Cotality (formerly CoreLogic) property records show 691 Burke Road last changed hands for $1.65 million in 1996 when Blintast became the owner. The other lot, 693 Burke Road, was sold in June 2024 for $8.1 million and settlement in November that year.
