The existing bulky goods and industrial area to the west and south-west of Highpoint Shopping Centre was rezoned in 2016 to facilitate a medium rise mixed use activity centre.
The Highpoint Urban Design Framework guides the future development of the precinct, with a range of retail, office, bulky goods and residential development of varying scale expected over the next 20 years.
As of August 2022, the following applications have been approved:
41 Warrs Road, a 10-storey residential building that contains 400 apartments.
191 Rosamond Road, a storey mixed-use development that contains 620 apartments and commercial tenancy at ground floor. The building height varies from 4 to 13 storeys. The planning permit was issued by VCAT.
In addition, Council has approved the Highpoint Shopping Centre Development Plan, which will guide the future development of the shopping centre precinct over the next 20-30 years.
