The Abbotsford Convent: AIM736 Assignment 2

The Abbotsford convent is a intricate combination of past and present. Heritage listed for significant contribution to Australian welfare the Convent is a rare example of a time of growth and change in Melbourne. Abbotsford, once a disadvantaged outer community is now a modern central suburb only 2km from Melbourne's growing central business district. The Convent has navigated the changing needs of the community from the 1800's to become the hub of creative industries that the Convent is today.
