Project Overview

Vicinity Centres are progressing plans for a new residential development at 12-14 Malvern Avenue and 5-7 Havilah Street, adjacent to Chatswood Chase Shopping Centre (345 Victoria Avenue), Chatswood.

The proposal has been identified as State Significant by the Housing Delivery Authority (HDA). A State Significant Development Application (SSDA) is currently being prepared and is expected to be lodged later this year.

The proposal includes:

A rezoning application that amends the site’s current land use zoning to include residential flat building as a permitted use, increase the allowable floor space ratio (FSR) and building height;
Two residential buildings (ranging from approximately 44 to 47 storeys) comprising approximately 500 apartments;
Integration with Chatswood Chase;
Affordable housing provisions including 10% of the proposed residential Gross Floor Area (GFA) for 15 years;
Residential parking on podium levels (Havilah St site) and two levels of basement parking (Malvern Ave site); and
Landscaped street upgrades to Malvern Avenue and Havilah Street

Project Vision

The project aims to deliver two high-quality residential buildings next door to Chatswood Chase that reinforce Chatswood’s role as a leading commercial, civic and cultural centre. The development will provide much needed housing choice close to shops, retail, services and public transport for those wanting to live and work in Chatswood.
