Docklands at Victoria Harbour :: HDR
Melbourne Docklands is a suburb in Melbourne, Australia. It occupies an area extending up to 2 km west from the CBD.
Melbourne Docklands is a primarily waterfront area centered around the banks of the Yarra River. Currently, much of this area is being developed to become a new inner city suburb.
Melbourne Docklands is best known as home to the Etihad Stadium, Southern Cross Station and a large number of modern buildings and eccentric public artworks.
The Docklands precinct was originally used for docks, but fell out of use following the containerization of shipping traffic. The space remained vacant and unused during the 1980s and it fell in to disrepair. It was used for "special events" during the 1990s, becoming notable for a number of dance and rave parties.
The redeveloped area will almost double the size of the city's central business district. With a residential population primarily living in high-density high rise apartments, the current population is approximately 6000 persons.
