CURRENT URBAN CONTEXT

The current urban conditions of Collingwood there is large areas of mixed use precinct towards the south with dominating industrial and commercial buildings. Towards the north low scale residential typologies occur. The commercial precinct of Johnson Street features a diversity of shops and services.

What is notable is the larger scale project which are being constructed. Along Hoddle street there’s a commercial build of offices and proposed around the railway co-corridor is a larger residential block. What this indicates is the governments desire to increase density within these areas and promote growth.
