Amcor
The decommissioning of Amcor’s 80-year-old Alphington mill, and the rezoning and sale of its prime, riverside,16-hectare site in Melbourne’s inner east, was complex and particularly challenging because of community, environmental and commercial sensitivities about the long term industrial site, which is set in a prime residential area.
Corrs provided a high level of strategic advice, due diligence, technical expertise and proactive management of environmental concerns to ensure a successful sale process.
