More than seven years after buying the former Epping quarry in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, developer Riverlee, has won approval from the City of Whittlesea to turn the 51ha site into a $2 billion mixed-use precinct of offices, shops, healthcare facilities, hotels and housing., paid almost $14 million in 2015 for what was then a dormant 46ha site at 215 Cooper Street – next door to the Northern Hospital and the Pacific Epping shopping centre.
Stage one of New Epping comprising a $133 million private hospital and 151 social and affordable apartments was fast-tracked by the Victorian Government’s Building Victoria’s Recovery Taskforce in December 2020. “We want New Epping to set a new standard in urban renewal, with a more thoughtful approach to how we regenerate infill sites and integrate mixed-use communities,” Mr Lee said.
