The Greenline Project will deliver a 4 km seamless, connected journey with improved public spaces for events, public art and recreation along the way. The project will be split into five inter-connected precincts – Birrarung Marr, The Falls, River Park, Maritime and Saltwater Wharf, all highlighting the area’s rich indigenous history.

Birrarung Marr Precinct Site 1
To kick-start the delivery of the Greenline Project, works will begin in Birrarung Marr where the river’s edge will be transformed with 450 m of new boardwalks, promenades and a variety of native habitats.
The concept plan for Site 1 was endorsed by the Future Melbourne Committee on 6 December 2022 following feedback and input from the community. The design will be inclusive and accessible, allowing people of all abilities to experience Birrarung Marr in new ways.
Construction on this transformative project will start in late April 2024, and expected to be complete by the end of 2024. Timber hoarding will be installed around the worksite, with access to move through Birrarung Marr being restricted in some areas. Please take care while moving around the worksite and follow the alternative routes outlined in the
traffic management plan. We thank the community for their patience and understanding as we get on this landmark project.
In line with our
Urban Forest Strategy, which aims to create a resilient, healthy and diverse urban forest, 60 new trees will be planted in the area – with 21 trees being removed. You can find out more in the project’s
Tree Removal Plan.
