This report outlines how feedback on these key issues has been addressed by Cross Yarra Partnership in the updated Portal Development Plans submitted to the Minister for Planning.
Detailed design will continue during project delivery, with CYP to prepare approximately 450 Design Packages that relate to specific technical disciplines and geographic areas.
In accordance with the project contract, Design Packages are reviewed by the project delivery authority and the Independent Reviewer, and subject to specified consultation with relevant stakeholders such as relevant council/s, the Office of Victorian Government Architect (OVGA), VicRoads, Metro Trains Melbourne and Yarra Trams.
In the event that the scope and extent of the built form of CYP’s works change during detailed design or as a result of heritage approval requirements, an amendment to the Development Plan would be prepared and approval sought from the Minister for Planning.
