125 new apartments will be built in these sizes:
Total new beds for 160 persons.
Section of the site located on the corner of Blackwood Street and Flemington Road, including the defunct café area on the ground floor and gym (being relocated) on Level One. An additional two floors (levels 6 & 7) will also be added to the Flemington Road building. All works will be separated by hoardings throughout the construction period. RMIT Village main entrance will remain during the construction period.
There will be no change to accessing the village via Flemington Road. We expect to see some construction traffic coming through the driveway for goods delivery but all traffic will be carefully managed by qualified traffic controllers. There will be some diversion of pedestrian traffic on the footpath on Flemington Road and Blackwood Street based on approved plans by Melbourne City Council.
There will be construction noise on site during work hours. During exam periods, noisy works will be restricted.
Any closure of existing common areas such as TV lounges or study rooms will also mean that additional new spaces are created to ensure residents continue to have dedicated spaces for relaxation and quiet study time. There is no loss in recreational space available on site.
There will not be works or noise on site after 5:30pm on weekdays, after 4pm on Saturdays. There will not be works on Sundays and Public Holidays.
