Moonee Valley Park

Moonee Valley Park

Moonee Valley Park is a $3 billion transformation of the Moonee Valley Racecourse, delivered as a joint venture between Hamton and Hostplus in partnership with the Moonee Valley Racing Club. Designed as a neighbourhood within a park, the 40-hectare redevelopment will become a botanic-inspired residential landmark for Melbourne’s inner north.

Once complete, Moonee Valley Park will comprise around 2,000 dwellings supported by resident amenities, retailers, cafés, restaurants, playgrounds, sporting fields, and an extensive network of walking and cycling paths — all set within 20 hectares of green open space. Since launching in 2019, the project has delivered five completed stages, including the popular Tote Park and TOTE Bar & Dining, with the first residents moving in during 2022.

Sustainability underpins the vision for Moonee Valley Park. Approximately half of the site is dedicated to new botanical green spaces, supporting biodiversity and enhancing wellbeing through everyday immersion in nature. The neighbourhood is designed to prioritise pedestrians, with essential amenities located within walking distance and recreational spaces integrated throughout.

Environmental performance is embedded across the precinct. Water-efficient fixtures rated up to five stars are included in all residences, while rainwater harvesting systems capture roof runoff for landscape irrigation, reducing potable water consumption. Solar panels installed on several rooftops help offset greenhouse gas emissions from common areas. Homes and communal spaces feature energy-efficient LED lighting, thermally efficient building design, and high-performance reverse-cycle heating and cooling systems to minimise energy use.

A comprehensive waste management strategy supports construction-phase sustainability, targeting the recycling of 80% of all waste generated on site.

Moonee Valley Park was first certified under EnviroDevelopment in 2019. Its continued commitment to sustainability and innovation has now been recognised through EnviroDevelopment Excellence — acknowledging the project’s leadership in delivering a greener, more resilient community.

“Hamton and Hostplus are delighted that Moonee Valley Park has been recognised as one of the inaugural projects to achieve the new EnviroDevelopment Excellence certification. MVP was envisioned from the outset as a neighbourhood within a botanical park and this acknowledgement confirms it as a new national benchmark for sustainable urban living. MVP exemplifies a best-practice approach to preserving and integrating living landscapes and trees within urban environments and the UDIA’s new rating tool rewards a nature-focussed approach”.
