Docklands

In this episode we’re heading to Melbourne’s waterfront and one of the city’s most debated neighbourhoods – Docklands. Over the past two decades, Docklands has grown from former port land into a major urban renewal precinct now home to more than 18,000 residents, thousands of workers and some of Melbourne’s most recognisable waterfront spaces. But it’s also a place that continues to attract strong opinions about what it is — and what it should become. Joining for the discussion is Docklands resident, former City of Melbourne councillor and co-president of emerging Docklands group Community3008, Jamal Hakim. In this conversation we’ll explore Docklands’ history, the challenges it’s faced in recent years, and the opportunities that could shape its future as Melbourne continues to grow.
