Description

The Fabric community is a masterplanned neighbourhood that has transformed a former industrial site in Altona North into a vibrant, future‑focused residential precinct.

Designed by award‑winning Mirvac Design, the architecture blends contemporary forms with references to the area’s industrial heritage, using brickwork and metal cladding to create durability, character and a strong sense of place.

Sustainability is central to the vision for The Fabric. Every home is all‑electric, achieves a minimum 7‑star NatHERS rating and includes solar PV as standard, setting a benchmark for environmentally responsible living. Through Mirvac’s partnership with ARENA, Stage 1 delivered 50 net‑zero energy townhomes, demonstrating leadership in innovation and energy efficiency. An integrated water management system also captures and reuses rainwater to irrigate local parks and streetscapes.

Generous green spaces include Patchwork Park, The Lawn and The Cook's Patch support recreation, wellbeing and connection. These destinations are linked by The Thread, a landscaped green link pathway that encourages walking, cycling and everyday interaction.

Today, The Fabric has grown into an engaged and welcoming neighbourhood shaped by regular events, workshops and urban agricultural initiatives.
