1 Dairy Road, Fyshwick

Developer Molonglo Group has filed plans for a new neighbourhood in Canberra's Fyshwick.

Molonglo, who have previously developed Melbourne's mixed-use building&nbsp;Walk Up Village and developments in Athens, Greece, have filed plans for&nbsp;11 low-rise apartment buildings across four hectares of industrial land&nbsp;between Dairy Road &amp; Monaro Highway.

Much of the residential neighbourhood site is part of the previously undeveloped portion of Dairy Road. It contains a large area of uncontrolled fill material excavated from Capital Hill, which was brought onto the site by the Commonwealth during the construction of Parliament House in the 1980s.

The development, which will be across five stages, has been designed by the London-based architectural studio&nbsp;David Chipperfield Architects.

The portion of the Dairy Road estate is identified under the Fyshwick Precinct Code as the dedicated portion of the estate where residential use is permitted.

A Pre-DA Public Consultation Report prepared earlier this year by Mongol suggested the residential neighbourhood will deliver intimate clusters of medium density housing that value outdoor and indoor life, and the built and unbuilt equally. It said the buildings will address the sites position near the Jerrabomberra Wetlands.

"Water will be an integral element of the neighbourhood and all buildings will be conceived as structures that give way to and support plant life," the report read.

It said the mix of apartments and terraced houses are designed&nbsp;for flexibility, allowing adaptation by the residents according to their needs and lifestyles.

There will be just under 400 apartments, a mix of 228 one-bedrooms, 67 one-bedroom plus study units, 53 two-beds, and 40 three-bedroom apartments.

As well as the apartments, on offer will be 10 four-bedroom and 10 five-bedroom townhouses.

10 per cent of the project will be dedicated to affordable housing, while car parking for 489 vehicles and 535 bicycles will be created, as well as&nbsp;new public and private open spaces including gardens, parks, and community facilities.&nbsp;Jane Irwin Landscape Architects is handling the landscaping.

"Architecture forms a framework for ecology whereby the spaces between buildings become equally as important as surrounding buildings," the report added.

"Buildings are arranged in pairs around generous courtyard gardens, with a central landscape space along the site’s east-west axis that changes from open grassland where it meets the wetland to woodland towards the east. Woven into this gradient of landscapes will be areas for gathering, reflection and play. A swale collects, filters and directs rainwater towards an ecological pool that will slowly release water into the wetland."

Monogolo's aim is for the project is to create a neighbourhood "where light industry, working, living, recreation and entertainment will co-exist in a natural setting."
