The plans for these renovations have been started under the vision shared by many in the region calling this the second decade of Docklands. The thought is to involve the community in the restructuring plans and to take feedback, as some of the many ideas that cross their desks at this time.
Some of the newer ideas include a new bridge sitting over Victoria Harbor, a floating concert hall, a selection of butterfly houses, and a new soccer pitch. Already officials have been flooded with more than 3,700 different ideas for improving Docklands and the culmination of all these ideas will be a difficult task because there are many fabulous ideas that were put forward.
The group landed on five concrete proposals to date and will be seeking consultation on the following ideas: a new bridge between Victoria Harbour and New Quay, creating a new aquatic center in the Harbor Esplanade region and other extensions for this waterfront city, a football field standing at the end of Central Pier, creating a Docklands library and community center, and the creation of an additional park in the northwest the Docklands. These are the first five that the group is looking at and they promise that there will be more to come for this region over the next decade.
A little over a decade ago this region of Docklands was simply an industrial area, but with the help of many private investors the region has completely overturned and is now a place where people love to visit, work and live. The feeling is that development efforts in this region may increase further in the coming decade and could eventually build one of the best places to visit in the city of Melbourne. The Docklands is an area that is on its way up and it is proven by an influx of new residents already. If you're looking for a unique place to invest in, the Docklands is an area that is really up and coming and promises to become an integral part of the city of Melbourne in just a few years.
