about the site

In February 2011, the City of Yarra decided not to proceed with a proposed sale of the property at 49 Tudor St, Richmond. The property previously housed the Burnley Neighbourhood Centre and a Maternal and Child Health service, but has been vacant since 2007.

Many community members opposed the sale, saying a community facility was needed in an area with a growing residential population. 

Options for the site that will be contemplated through the City of Yarra's EOI process include: renovation and re-use of existing buildings, demolition (partial or whole) of existing buildings, or partial or total redevelopment of the site.
