A Site Rich In History

Built on the former Cave Hill limestone quarry, Kinley carries more than 140 years of industrial, agricultural and cultural history.

Once owned by David Mitchell — father of Dame Nellie Melba — the site played an important role in the development of Melbourne, with limestone from the quarry used in many of the city’s early buildings and infrastructure.

Today, Kinley is carefully preserving and repurposing many of the site’s historic buildings and heritage elements, creating a community that respects its past while shaping a sustainable future.

Kinley has achieved a 6 Star Green Star Communities accreditation, representing “world-leading” environmental, sustainability and liveability outcomes.

The community has been masterplanned around environmental rehabilitation, water-sensitive urban design, biodiversity, walkability and connected green spaces, transforming a former industrial site into a thriving new neighbourhood for Melbourne’s east.

Extensive wetlands, trails, open space networks and community infrastructure are designed to support healthy, connected and sustainable living long into the future.

A Connected Community For Melbourne’s East

Kinley has been designed as a walkable, transit-oriented community with a strong focus on housing diversity, public open space and community connection.

The masterplan includes future parks, sports facilities, wetlands, town centre amenity, walking and cycling trails and adaptive reuse heritage spaces designed to bring people together and create a strong sense of place.
