Plans are under way to redevelop a heritage Greek Orthodox Church site in Northcote with a new hotel and restaurant, with an estimated $180 million project cost. The proposal requires state government approval before construction can proceed. While the project is presented as an ambitious redevelopment of the church precinct, the plans also prompt concerns among some nearby residents. Local issues highlighted across reporting include potential increases in noise and traffic resulting from the new uses on the site. The redevelopment is expected to change how the location functions day to day, moving beyond the church’s current role to incorporate commercial and accommodation activity. The church site’s heritage status is a central factor in the proposal process, and any approval would be dependent on assessment of how the redevelopment fits within heritage and planning requirements. All outlets report that the matter is not yet final and remains awaiting the state government’s decision.
