JH Boyd Girls SchoolA SLITHER of land behind one of Southbank’s oldest and grandest buildings – the former JH Boyd Girls’ High School - will make way for a major skyscraper, set to become a landmark near the busy intersection where the West Gate Freeway merges with Kings Way.

The City of Melbourne will ask private developers to build a 30-level tower filled with apartments, offices and shops, at the rear of a school site it acquired for $10.5 million in 2005.

Bound by City Road, Kings Way, Kavanagh and Balston streets, the balance of the property will be redeveloped as a cultural and community hub to service Southbank’s growing population, and evolving ethos.

Two parks – one measuring 1000 square metres, and another of 2500 square metres will also be developed on the site over the next four years.
