BURNHAM BEECHES

Our goal is to capture the spirit of the Dandenongs.

Located adjacent to Sherbrooke Forest, Burnham Beeches is an iconic landmark of the Dandenong Ranges. Reminiscent of an ocean liner, this significant Art Deco three-storey mansion was designed by architect Harry Norris in 1933 for the Nicholas ‘Aspro’ family.

June 13 Update - Permit Approval

The Trenerry Consortium has received the go-ahead for its proposed landmark redevelopment of the historic Burnham Beeches, which will welcome renowned wellness and sustainability hospitality operator Six Senses to Australia.

The Consortium has received a Heritage Victoria permit for the entire proposed master plan and the green light for the initial stage component from Yarra Ranges Council, with a further application to be lodged with the Council for the remainder of the master plan to bring the Council permit into line with Heritage Victoria’s permit.

This will enable the development team to undertake crucial conservation works to the existing buildings, alongside commencing construction of new buildings and upgrades to building and site services, with works to kick off in October 2023.

Notably, it will allow urgent repair works to begin on one of Australia’s most significant and unique art deco buildings – the Alfred Nicholas mansion. The mansion has sat vacant for 36 years and is in need of urgent restoration and care.

The permits will also see works commence on the development of new buildings and landscaping, bringing the holistic restoration of Burnham Beeches – to be operated by Six Senses – another step closer to opening its doors and welcoming visitors once again.
