The planners at Urbis state, “a Master Plan has not been endorsed by Council and has not been submitted with this application. However, an internal Master Plan has been prepared by the Mater”.
“This is to guide the redevelopment of Mater Hill as a cohesive, open and engaging health precinct which is intrinsically connected to the city it serves. The Master Plan identifies there are a number of buildings requiring major renovation or demolition. The adaptive re-use of the Convent for the MBFU is envisaged in the Master Plan“.
