01.About the site
SInce the 1800s Arden-Macaulay has been a primarily industrial area supporting the city’s economy through manufacturing and production. More recently, the profile of businesses in the area has changed. This has created an area which is generally underutilised, particularly considering its proximity to the Central City. Arden Macaulay has an overlay of not only a rich industrial heritage but also a very rich but conspicuous indigenous heritage as the Moonnee ponds creek flows through the site. With the tangible heritage elements that exist predominantly on site , there are a lot of intangible elements which are associated with it. The city link and the Upfield line practically run through the centre of the site and divide the site both physically and visually. The Macaulay station is located right under this city link.Landuses mainly include industrial zones and residential pockets.
