Werribee’s Cherry Street carpark will be transformed into a $40 million high-rise carpark, office and retail precinct.
A planning application lodged earlier this month reveals plans for a nine-storey commercial building that will include several levels of carparking – including two basement levels – as well as office and retail spaces and a childcare centre in the upper levels.
A total of 814 carparking spaces will be available.
The Cherry Street site is one of four council-owned ground-level carparks that will be converted to high-rise complexes with multi-level carparks, residential apartments, and office and retail premises.
The Burbank Group and Pelligra will spearhead the transformation of all four projects.
The planning application is currently out for community consultation, with a notice installed at the Cherry Street carpark stating that the council will not make a decision on the permit before December 7.
Wyndham city director Kate Roffey could not say when the planning application would go to a council vote or provide construction timelines.
“The timing of the council decision and subsequent construction will depend on factors including the response time from other referral agencies, whether or not objections are received and the nature of those objections,” she said.
