                    Docklands Community and Place Plan

                    ​Docklands is one of the biggest projects – and changes – the City of Melbourne has ever experienced. It has significantly transformed the city, bringing the city to the water and creating new precincts for living, working and entertaining.

                    In 2010 more than 3700 people shared their views for the future of Docklands. The resulting feedback informed the Docklands Community and Place Plan, which was launched by the City of Melbourne and Places Victoria (now Development Victoria) in July 2012.

                    The plan outlines a vision for Docklands to be a key driver of Melbourne’s economy with a unique urban waterfront reflecting Melbourne’s elegance, diversity and culture. It includes plans to invest $300 million in community infrastructure across 30 community-endorsed projects.

                    So far, 77 per cent of the 73 community priorities identified in the plan have been delivered. These range from major infrastructure projects such as Library at The Dock and Community Hub at The Dock, as well as Jim Stynes Bridge through to creative initiatives such as 5 Short Blasts and First Friday Dance Club.
