In January 2017, the Victorian Government entered into a contract with Cbus Property and Australia Post to develop a new office building at 311 Spencer St, Melbourne, and subsequently lease this facility to the State for use as a new Victoria Police Centre (VPC).
In May 2015, a market-led proposal was received from Cbus Property and Australia Post to develop a VPC for use as Victoria Police headquarters. The VPC will be jointly funded and developed by Cbus Property and Australia Post on land owned by Australia Post at 311 Spencer Street, Melbourne. The VPC will provide Victoria Police with the ability to control and secure their own precinct by integrating with the adjacent City West Police Complex (CWPC) at 313 Spencer St, Melbourne. Victoria Police proposes to sub-lease a portion of the new VPC to other policing agencies with similar accommodation needs.
The VPC will also provide the appropriate security required for a police headquarters. The features of the site combined with landscaping, urban design interventions, built form initiatives and invisible technologies will provide Victoria Police with a secure facility that remains integrated into the wider streetscape.
