Docklands (also known as Melbourne Docklands to
differentiate it from London Docklands) is an inner city suburb in
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia occupying an area extending up to 2
km west of and adjacent to Melbournes Central Business District
(CBD). Its Local Government Area is the City of Melbourne.
Demographically, Docklands has a population, according to the 2006
Census, of 3,939.
It is bounded by Spencer Street, Wurundjeri Way
and Charles Grimes Bridge to the east, CityLink to the west and
Lorimer Street across the Yarra to the south and is a primarily
waterfront area centred around the banks of the Yarra
River.
Contemporary Docklands is the product of an ongoing urban
renewal project to extend the area of the CBD (excluding Southbank
and St Kilda Road) by over a third when completed around 2015. It is
now home to several of Melbournes modern landmarks including Etihad
Stadium, Southern Cross Station and The Southern Star.
