Discussion The proposed redevelopment of the Prahran housing estates presents a great opportunity for residents on the estates and the local community. The approach taken to the development of the master plan by the Department, of being consultative, precinct-based and presenting an exciting long term vision for renewal is commended. The submission categorises feedback into the themes of; mixed use; built form and urban design; movement, connections and linkages; open space, sport and recreation; and environmental sustainability. It is evident that the Department has attempted to address Council’s earlier feedback through various design features. Some opportunities for refinement and improvement have been identified, and these are outlined in the submission. A summary of the key points made in the submission for each theme follows: Mixed use;  The opportunity for retention of the single largest landholding in Prahran in public o ownership is encouraged. While the inclusion of private housing in the development proposal is understood, Council highlights the importance of private housing to be affordable, in-keeping with the objectives for the site in supporting the needs of members of the community suffering disadvantage. Council encourages careful consideration of the model for providing the long term affordability of housing on the estates. Activation of the site through use activities at ground floor facilities is supported, o but with some consideration given to the types of uses so as to limit the risk for potential harm-producing uses (such as packaged liquor outlets). The inclusion of a social enterprise as part of this mix is posed in Council’s submission.
