A
recent press report stated that hospital services are to be relocated
and the site is to be redeveloped as multi-storey apartments (16 storeys).
It appears that the proposal includes the retention of the existing hospital
building. However, there is much concern amongst local residents about
the height of the proposed development. ADS will hold discussions with
the National Trust and East Melbourne Residents Group.
