Site Selection

At the same time, the South Site is adjacent with three main roads of Melbourne CBD, namely Elizabeth Street, Flinders Street, Swanston Street which is proposed to be fully pedestrainised in the future plan.

Elizabeth Street is situated the bottom of the valley which was the commercial passage (a public-purpose reserve was provided during preliminary investigations, and the first permanent Post Office building open for business in 1841), while Swanston Street was eventually recognised as the “civic spine” with reserves, which occupied by the State Library, Melbourne Hospital (later Queen Victoria Hospital) and the Town Hall today.

These three streets are situated at the lowest point in the Melbourne central business district, with land rises both to the east and west, and more gradually rises to the north. The street is built on top of a historic natural creek and has suffered countless floods in Melbourne’s history.

The intersection of Flinders Street anf Swanston Street is the main entrance to Melbourne’s CBD and recognised as primary city transport route. During working hours, the tram station and the subway interchange are overcrowded. Every night, when office workers and shoppers take the train and cable car home to the thriving suburbs, the streets are empty. The front store are occupied various fast food chain restaurants, various food kiosks, offices, hotels, grocery stores and utility stores.
