HASSELL TO LEAD MASTERPLAN FOR ABBOTSFORD CONVENT
Hassell will lead a masterplan for the protection and enhancement of the historic Abbotsford Convent precinct on the Birrarung (Yarra River) in Melbourne’s north-east. The site subject to the masterplan was occupied by one of Victoria’s largest convents during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and today it functions as an arts, education and cultural hub. Work on the project commenced in November 2020 and is due to be completed by October 2021.
