Context
FKP Commercial Developments Pty Ltd submitted a development application to create a mixed-use integrated commercial, residential, community and retail development, with excellent access to the Albion railway station.
This project proposed facilitating the development of ‘The Mill, Albion’, on the obsolete Albion Flour Mill site and adjoining sites, at Hudson Road and Albion Road, Albion. This major redevelopment site is adjacent to the existing Albion Village centre and the Albion Railway Station and represents an urban renewal opportunity with significant transit-oriented outcomes. The proposal will provide benefits to the local area and the city as a whole.
Concept
Retention and reuse of the heritage Albion Flour Mill building as a coherent part of the overall redevelopment is a principal objective to help preserve the area's cultural significance and create a landmark feature for the site. The heritage Mill building and the grain silos have been retained and effectively integrated with the remainder of the proposal's contemporary design. Sightlines from within the site and throughout adjoining areas have been retained to the heritage Mill building and the silos.
