Though boasting numerous private housing developments, as well as cafés, restaurants and public art works, the Melbourne suburb of Docklands largely lacks the fine grain and human-scaled developments that make a modern city attractive.
Thanks to a partnership arrangement between the City of Melbourne, Lend Lease and Places Victoria, and following extensive community engagement as part of the City’s Docklands Community and Place Plan, the transformation of Docklands from ‘a soulless, dispiriting, windswept failure’ into a culturally rich precinct is now well underway.
