The map shows the location of the Former Port Phillip Woollen Mill - the site of the proposed development by Nelson Place Village changed by the minister from  industrial and special use to residential. The Developer Nelson Place Village P/L sought the amendment from the minister outside of the local government planning procedures.  The developer is seeking a height limit of 47 metres which would accomodate a high-rise building of up to 17 storeys when the advisory committee hears submissions. .

The current residential height limit is 2 to 3 storeys in Williamstown (Heritage Overlays H01 and H02) set out in the City of Hobsons Bay Council Planning Scheme. The Development Overlay proposed by the developer before it was removed from Council’s responsibility can be viewed here. This shows quite clearly that the application is seeking to make changes in a zone which is adjacent to the shipyard site occupied by BAE Systems as well as other locations designated by Council as an industrial zone.
