Why is the Commercial 2 Zone (C2Z) not being rezoned to another zone that allows dwellings?

The Commercial 2 Zone (C2Z) in South Melbourne is the one of few precincts in Port Phillip where dwellings are not permitted.

Protecting South Melbourne’s employment only land (C2Z) is vital in accommodating businesses within Port Phillip that are not compatible with the residential amenity expectations (such as those that operate machinery 24/7) or cannot be located near dwellings due to the storage or certain materials. Examples of these businesses include arts and events business that support the Arts Precinct in Southbank and need to be close by and operate 24/7, and manufacturing.

Protecting the C2Z is also vital in providing more affordable spaces for businesses to locate, especially businesses in Professional, Scientific and Technical Services, and Information Media and Telecommunications. These are industries that form South Melbourne’s economic specialisation.
