Description

The Anstey Urban Village combines good public transport, award-winning and interesting development projects, parks and coffee stops—all within a convenient walking distance.

The Anstey Urban Village walking tour will highlight nine sites that have each contributed to the urban renewal of one of Melbourne’s most thriving mixed-use precincts. The format will provide an opportunity to listen and gain information on what makes Anstey Urban Village a success through a planning lens.

What's On

Join us for a town planning walking tour of the Anstey Urban Village in Brunswick. Together, we will explore the urban renewal of this precinct through its strategic planning, key infrastructure moves, upgraded public areas and green spaces. During the guided tour, we will also share knowledge on the role of built form exemplars such as those by Nightingale Housing, and developments that make for a successful and vibrant neighbourhood.
 
Join Damian Iles, Town Planning Director of Hansen Partnership, as he shares his insights into the projects from Nightingale Housing, Merri-bek City Council and others that have shaped this neighbourhood. Having been responsible for the delivery of a number of projects within the precinct over the last decade, Damian can provide a clear context for what moves have worked and what remains to be done.

Children's Activities

The tour will stop by Bulleke-bek Park on West St, Brunswick, which has a range of children's play equipment, but otherwise may not be suitable for children.
