This submission proposes to rezone Melbourne Business Park (MBP) from Light Industrial to ‘ZO 09 Neighbourhood and Local Centre’ for the following reasons:

•   The  Model  Farm  Road  area  has  a  very  significant  catchment population which is not served by any local/neighbourhood centre

•   A new local/neighbourhood centre on Model Farm Road in line with

the Council’s objective to provide a walkable City

•   The need for a new local/neighbourhood centre on Model Farm

Road was identified by the Council as far back as the 2007

•   The provision of a neighbourhood centre is fully in accordance with the 2012 Retail Planning Guidelines
