Amended plans have been submitted by Lend Lease for the development which would see the height of one building designated for a retirement village increase from six to nine storeys at the site in Bendigo St, Richmond, 3km from the CBD.

When approved, the site will also be home to a second retirement living building up to four storeys for a total of 138 retirement living units, 16 affordable housing apartments over three storeys operated by Women’s Housing Limited and a six-storey 144-bed aged care facility to be run by Catholic Healthcare.
