The site at 192-200 Arden Street North Melbourne has been used by its owner, the Electrical Trades Union (ETU), for more than 10 years for its administrative head office and training and health services.

The ETU proposes to continue use of the site and in the future increase the building floor area to accommodate expanded office facilities. The current use of the site can continue but any office expansion is prohibited under the existing residential zone. Planning Scheme Amendment C447 proposes to rezone the site to mixed use and introduce site-specific height and setback controls to guide any future redevelopment of the site. The amendment has been proposed at the request of the ETU.
