About Docklands
Docklands is Melbourne's purpose-built waterfront precinct, home to 15,500 residents in towers rising above Victoria Harbour, just 2 kilometres from the CBD. Multiple tram routes and the free city circle serve the area, while Marvel Stadium and the waterfront promenade draw visitors. The precinct continues developing after a slow start.
Harbour Town and waterfront restaurants provide retail and dining, while the NewQuay promenade offers water views. The library and community facilities have improved livability. Docklands attracts young professionals and investors seeking modern waterfront living with CBD convenience, while the precinct gradually addresses early criticisms about community and character.
Docklands falls under postcode 3008 and is governed by Melbourne Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Melbourne (Northern Metropolitan) electorate.
