Project background
This planning permit application has been made on the back of Banyule Council determining to issue a new lease agreement for Chelsworth Park. On 20 May 2024, Council resolved to enter into an agreement for lease and draft lease with Ivanhoe Grammar School (IGS) for the Chelsworth Pavilion Redevelopment.
The lease was subject to IGS obtaining a planning permit for the pavilion's construction. It is consistent with the concept designs attached to the agreement for lease.
Community feedback on the pavilion designs, gathered through the lease consultation, has been shared with IGS.
Council has facilitated 3 community workshops that provided further opportunity for feedback on elements of the final designs and explain the statutory planning process that will follow. Read more information on project history, community engagement and agreement.
