378 - 382 Bay St, Port Melbourne
This handsome threesome of houses at the northern end of Bay St was constructed in 1900. The tree obscures some of the details described in the citation below.
The allotment was purchased from the Crown by T Fordham. By February 1900 the land was owned by James McLaughlan, of Howe Crescent, South Melbourne. During that year he erected three 8 room brick houses. It is described as
'A rare example in Port Melbourne of a grand terrace of three houses, it is of unusually late date for the style. The terrace demonstrates the original mixed residential and commercial character of Bay Street. The terrace is notable for its elaborate parapet design and cast iron balcony decoration.
These three two storey terrace houses were constructed in polychromatic brickwork, now painted. They are relatively wide and have cast iron balconies and verandahs.
The central house is more elaborate than its flanking neighbour, having a triangular pedimented parapet and more complex cast iron decoration. In addition, the central house has tripartite windows, arched to the ground floor, rather than the paired windows found on the other three houses.
The cornice detailing on the two outer houses differ from that on the central house. The south house has a rectangular pediment which differs from the possibly altered pediment on the north house. The original decorative urns have been removed.'

The City of Port Phillip (CoPP) has refused a planning application for this address. The proposal was for: a permit for partial demolition, buildings and works comprising alterations and a third storey addition with terrace to an existing dwelling.
The reasons for refusal included the following: The proposed third storey would not respect the existing or preferred character of the neighbourhood. The form and position of the third storey would be inconsistent with the single and double storey character of the neighbourhood and would detract from the existing unique character of tower forms in this neighbourhood.

City of Port Phillip Planning Application No 1220/2016 for the construction of an eight storey building comprising ground floor restaurant (270 patrons) and 32 dwellings. The dwelling mix is 4 x one bedroom units, 17 x two bedroom units and 11 x three bedroom units. Three basement levels are proposed with 42 car spaces, six bicycle spaces, storage and other associated facilities.
The Council decision of 6 September 2017 to approve the development was appealed by the applicant to VCAT.
VCAT said about the proposal:
Ultimately we conclude that a high density, mixed use development on the subject land can make a significant and positive contribution to multiple outcomes sought by the scheme. Those outcomes include housing growth and diversity, activation of the public realm between Station Pier and Bay Street, and passive surveillance of the public realm.However, the building’s impacts on the public and private realms are not acceptable. Although changes could be made to reduce amenity impacts on neighbours to an acceptable level, the extent of overshadowing of the foreshore reserve is such that we do not consider a net community benefit is achieved.
The positive outcomes associated with this permit application are not, however, outweighed by the negative impacts upon the public and private realms that would result if this development is approved in its current form. We are not satisfied that the outcomes and design objectives of DDO1 are met nor State and local policies that emphasise the important civic role of the foreshore and its pathways.
Most specifically, we find the extent of overshadowing of the foreshore (including the bicycle and pedestrian paths) and the loss of amenity to abutting dwellings, particularly No. 90 Beach Street, to be unacceptable impacts from the proposal.
Conditions were imposed to address these concerns and VCAT issued a permit on 7 March 2018.

The Minister for Planning, Sonya Kilkenny, has approved a development for this site.
It comprises 389 apartments, 8693sq m of commercial office space and 2088sq m of retail space.
Studio Kristen Whittle designed the plans for the tower. Studio Kristen Whittle describe the project:
"The concrete forms echo the surrounding post industrial historical built form language that surrounds Australia's largest port complex. The three 'silo' forms are expressed with red oxide low embodied energy fly ash concrete and thick set bronzed curtain walling. A roof garden sits on top of the carparking podium .. The tower is raised two storeys above the roof garden to allow for the strong northerly winds to pass through the development without significant downdraft impediments."
