VCAT issued planning permit 673/2015 on 6 February 2017. The permit allowed for the
construction of a three storey building containing a supermarket and restaurant at
ground level and 14 dwellings above and a reduction of the car parking and loading
bay requirements.<br />
<br />
An amendment to that permit was sought. It proposed the
addition of an extra storey to create a four storey (15.1m high) building, the reduction of
the number of dwellings (from 14 to 12), rearrangement of the basement car park, modify car
parking (including car parking to the north of the site) and reduce the clearance height
of the building above the shared path on the eastern side of the site and internal
changes.<br />
<br />
The City of Port Phillip supported the amendment and a permit with conditions was issued. (see <a href="http://www.portphillip.vic.gov.au/november-2019-meetingagendas.htm" target="_blank">City of Port Phillip planning report</a> 27 November 2019)<br />
<br />
The architects for the amended design are Wood Marsh Architecture, responsible for nearby <a href="https://www.porthouses.com/2020/01/71-rouse-st-port-melbourne.html" target="_blank">MINT</a>, <a href="https://www.porthouses.com/2016/04/alumuna-9-johnston-st-port-melbourne.html" target="_blank">Alumuna</a> and <a href="http://www.woodmarsh.com.au/portfolio/beacon" target="_blank">Beacon</a>. <a href="http://www.woodmarsh.com.au/" target="_blank">Wood Marsh</a> has its offices in the ground floor of the Beacon building on Beach St.<br />

The tree obscures some of the details described in the citation below.</p>
<p>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 </p>
<blockquote>
<p>'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.</p>
<p>These three two storey terrace houses were constructed in polychromatic brickwork, now painted. They are relatively wide and have cast iron balconies and verandahs.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.'</p>

18 Stokes St is the first known purpose built Masonic Hall in Melbourne. It was built by Charles Gregory in 1858. The Lodge Hall was situated on the block of land bounded by Beach Street, Stokes Street, Rouse Street and Nott Street which formed Block 1 in the Sandridge Township Plan and was among the first to be offered for sale.<br />
<br />
The Sandridge Marine Lodge continued to meet in the Stokes Street Hall until 1917 when it moved to the Lodge's then new Masonic Hall in Liardet Street.<br />
