Churchill Development Group has submitted new plans for the redevelopment of 166 Breakfast Creek Road, Newstead, transforming the site into a residential-led mixed-use precinct featuring three towers with heights of 28, 26, and 23 storeys.
Known in the development application as ‘Breakfast Creek Quarter’ the development has been designed by MAS Architecture Studio and includes 752 residential apartments as well as a mix of retail and commercial spaces on the ground and podium levels. The architectural design integrates extensive landscaping, large private balconies, and communal recreational areas.
The development team aims to deliver housing supply and choice in a highly sought-after inner-city location, specifically proposing a mix of studio, 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments with varying floors areas between 49m2 and 96m2 in size.
A ground level cross-block link is proposed which will be activated with numerous retail tenancies which plans to enhance pedestrian connectivity, and create a walkable and vibrant neighbourhood.

I am a local resident who struggles with rent and where to rent with my job being in the valley.
Finally Council and State Governments are waking up to the fact that there’s a severe housing shortage and developments like these should be approved immediately and get on with it.
