In 2012 the City of Banyule acquired part of the former Banksia LaTrobe Secondary College in Bellfied which has been decommissioned. It was purchased to allow for high-end residential infill development and also enable revenue to be generated for Council. The Bellfield Urban Design Guidelines were developed and adopted by Council in February 2019.[2]
