About Amendment C92, Nicholson Street Neighbourhood Activity Centre
Amendment C92 to the Moreland Planning Scheme proposes to rezone former industrial land to facilitate the creation of a new neighbourhood activity centre.
The Amendment will allow employment-generating uses such as retail, office and industrial uses to commence, while retaining those businesses within the precinct that remain viable due to existing use rights.
