Please note: The content below is based on the draft Cremorne Urban Design Framework (UDF) that was open for community feedback from Monday 7 November to Monday 12 December 2022. This may not be reflective of the revised UDF that was endorsed by Council at the Council Meeting on Tuesday 12 September 2023. A further round of consultation will occur early next year to finalise the UDF and exhibit the proposed permanent planning provisions. We will conduct this stage of consultation once we receive approval from the Victorian Government. This page will be updated at that time. Click here for more information.

Railway Precinct will be a vibrant linear employment precinct, between the railway corridor and Church Street Precinct, anchored by the Cremorne Digital Hub on Balmain Street.

Swan Street and the Yarra River corridor and surrounds will be easily accessible via green north-south streets and upgraded underpass and bridge connections.

Balmain Street and the underpass will provide safe and accessible connections to Cremorne West and Church Street with reduced vehicle speeds and traffic volumes, expanded footpaths and greening.

A sense of scale will be maintained in the narrow streets with a street wall height of three storeys and overall heights of seven storeys. Built form will transition in height to the north, respecting the low scale landscape character of the Green Street Residential Precinct.

The cluster of heritage sites on Balmain and Green Streets, which will include Cremorne’s Digital Hub will be enhanced with new public spaces and development which is setback from the heritage buildings to enhance their prominence.

New public space along the railway corridor will provide space to meet and relax and provide green relief in a compact, busy precinct and form part of the green link south to Oddys Lane and the enhanced Yarra River crossing.
