The Docklands
The Docklands community
A precinct seen as a connected and active place, with 24 hour activity, a diverse mix of uses and an active body of water.
Docklands will be a place where people not only enjoy living and working but also come to congregate for a in a wide range of activities, from visiting major attractions to enjoying a relaxed, unplanned day out.
Some of the critical drivers for this visions success are:
Growing the mixed use of the Docklands
• creatingandgrowingadiversemixofusestocomplementexisting and surrounding areas;
Developing community
• developingavibrant,diverseandsustainablecommunitythatpromotes a sense of belonging.
Urban Reforestation is
... part of that community
Urban Reforestation is an existing project in Docklands which aims to attract residents and professionals to engage in their community through in urban agriculture. Once constructed and operating, Urban Reforestation will inspire an ongoing community conversation around the development and character of the Docklands precinct.
