The Chelmsford Street Open Space draft concept plan proposes to replace an existing building located at 70-90 Chelmsford Street in Kensington with approximately 3600 square metres of new public open space.

Feedback received from the community, key stakeholders and Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Traditional Owners has helped shape the draft concept plan, which will transform this area of Kensington into a place for the community to relax, exercise, play and connect with nature.
