Who owns the land?
Arden includes a variety of block sizes, from small, narrow residential lots to large industrial landholdings. The Victorian Government is the largest landowner, with significant landholdings around the new Arden Station. The remainder of the precinct is owned by private land and/or business owners.
The large government land ownership within the precinct is unique. It gives the precinct potential to transform in a coordinated way providing new streets and laneways, open spaces and parks and new infrastructure. It presents the opportunity for Arden to develop into an innovation precinct specialising in health, life sciences, digital technology, and education technology to complement Australia’s preeminent biomedical cluster in Parkville.
