Bogong Multi-Deck Car Park transforms essential infrastructure into a vibrant commercially driven urban asset at the gateway to Glen Waverley’s Activity Precinct. Doubling parking capacity from approximately 500 to over 1,000 free spaces, the development improves access and supports increased visitation to Kingsway’s retail, entertainment, and hospitality offerings. A glazed circulation core enhances visibility, daylight, and wayfinding, improving visitor experience and safety. At night, a dynamic DMX lighting system activates the streetscape and connecting laneway, strengthening the precinct’s identity and supporting the night-time economy. Strong sustainability responses included a saving of 703 tonnes of carbon through the retention of the existing 4 level building, with a large solar roof providing excess energy beyond the buildings own needs. Delivered by the City of Monash in partnership with Katz Architecture and a multidisciplinary consultant team, the project demonstrates how commercial infrastructure can generate long-term value while contributing positively to the public realm.
The site is a key gateway into the Kingsway retail strip, and Council sought a high-quality urban response that enhances the arrival experience. This popular retail and night-time destination required the building to contribute both day and night. The feature lighting, including the Bogong moth façade motif, has been highly successful and reinforces a sense of arrival into the precinct. The design delivers an attractive, functional, safe and welcoming environment for users. Public feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and Council is delighted with the addition to this important entertainment district.
