Tooronga Village

Tooronga Village is a residential, office and retail centre in the suburb of Glen Iris[1] in Melbourne, the capital of the Australian state of Victoria.

In December 1985, developers Hudson Conway paid $1.25m for the adjacent former brickworks, despite a proposed open-space order on the site approved by the former Hawthorn Council ten years prior.

The proposals met with substantial local opposition led by the Tooronga Action Group,[8] and anti-development candidates were voted into Hawthorn Council.

In 2000, Coles Myer, which had opened its head office on land immediately adjacent in 1986, had plans for a major retail and entertainment development of the precinct but never proceeded with them.

[5] In December 2011, Stockland abandoned the remaining residential stages of the development, in line with its general exit from the apartment sector, opting instead to sell 7.7 hectares of the undeveloped land back to Coles.
