Project overview

Approved without a VCAT fight.

This well-located 780-square-metre corner site overlooks parkland and sits just minutes from local schools and the Eastern Freeway on-ramp. MPG designed and delivered three architecturally designed 3-bedroom residences for it — one standalone house fronting Thea Grove, and two townhouses facing Maxia Road.

The success of the project lay in a thoughtful design approach — one that integrated the new dwellings naturally into the surrounding environment. The result: a clean planning approval, secured without the need for VCAT intervention.

The Challenge

A 780-square-metre corner site overlooking parkland, in an established Doncaster East pocket minutes from schools and the Eastern Freeway. Infill of this kind often ends up at VCAT — the challenge was an approval that did not.

ii.

The Approach

MPG led the strategic acquisition, the architectural design and design management, and the development management. The design was deliberately contextual — three 3-bedroom residences, a standalone house fronting Thea Grove and two townhouses facing Maxia Road, integrated into the surrounding streetscape.

iii.

The Outcome

Three architecturally designed homes, approved without the need for VCAT intervention — a clean result that thoughtful, context-led design made possible.
