  • Melbourne Arts Precinct Blueprint 4 March 2014
    Report to the Future Melbourne (Planning) Committee Agenda item 6.2 Melbourne Arts Precinct Blueprint 4 March 2014 Presenter: Rob Adams, Director City Design Purpose and background 1. The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the recent public release of the Melbourne Arts Precinct Blueprint (Blueprint) and advise on the implications for Council. 2. The preparation of a Blueprint to guide the future development of the Melbourne’s Arts Precinct was initiated in May 2011 by the Victorian Government and presents a shared vision for the future of the area as determined by a working group, chaired by architect Yvonne von Hartel AM and comprising key precinct stakeholders including Arts Victoria, City of Melbourne, University of Melbourne and major arts institutions. Key issues 3. The principles underpinning the Blueprint were informed by a community consultation process that involved representatives of arts organisations, residents, arts students and visitors to the precinct. 4. The Blueprint identifies that the precinct has the potential to be a vibrant and active destination and proposes that this will only be fully realised when all levels of government agree to cooperate in the facilitation of this special place. Council’s ongoing participation in the implementation of projects in the public realm is one way by which this overall vision can be achieved (refer Attachment 2). 5. The Blueprint is consistent with Council’s adopted Southbank Structure Plan and includes actions such as the streetscape improvements to City Road, open space along Southbank Boulevard and the integration of Dodds Street with the VCA campus.

The Kearney map of 1855 shows land north of City Road (then Sandridge Road) as poorly-drained and avoided on account of its flood-prone nature. To the immediate south was Emerald Hill. The Port Melbourne railway crossed the river at The Falls and ran north of City Road. By the time of Commander Cox’s 1866 map, some industrial premises were located on the Yarra River bank and walking tracks connected them with the Sandridge Road and Emerald Hill.

    This version of Plan Melbourne 2017-2050 has been prepared for use with screen reader software. The printed publication contains various design features that have been necessarily omitted from this version. In other respects this document contains identical text to that in the PDF version of the document which is available at planmelbourne.vic.gov.au Plan Melbourne 2017-2050 Metropolitan planning strategy Page 1 of 164 The Minister for Planning Victoria is one of the most diverse and liveable places in the world. The foundation of our success has been our people. We would not be as prosperous as we are today without the wealth of new people and new ideas that came through migration – particularly during the boom times of the 1850s Gold Rush and 1950s post- War years. Now, as Victoria experiences its third population boom, we need to grow in the right places and in the right ways. Population growth will give us the critical mass of people and skills we need to build better infrastructure for our cities, suburbs and towns; deliver services to our ageing population; transition to a low-carbon economy; and profit from the opportunities of the Asian Century. We need to see this population boom as an opportunity for Victoria to grow more liveable, more sustainable and more prosperous. For that to happen, we need to grow in controlled ways. That means stopping Melbourne’s urban sprawl, ensuring our regional cities remain affordable and liveable, making smart investments in infrastructure that encourage job growth outside the CBD, and giving local communities across the state support to put together their own plans for development.

  • Transforming Southbank Boulevard and Dodds Street
    Transforming Southbank Boulevard and Dodds Street The City of Melbourne is giving our neighbourhood a facelift – 2.5 hectares of beautiful new green public spaces along Southbank Boulevard and its surrounds! Commencing on 9 July, construction works will take an estimated 18 months – and while there’ll be plenty of long-term benefits to the Melbourne Arts Precinct, there’ll also be some short-term impacts to our visitors, including temporary road closures, changes/diversions to roads and traffic lights, and changed access to our car park. So what’s this project all about? City of Melbourne Vision The Southbank Boulevard and Dodds Street Draft Concept Plan outlines City of Melbourne’s vision for creating great public spaces for people in Southbank. It sets the direction and plan to transform Southbank Boulevard and Dodds Street into one of Australia’s most pedestrian-friendly places, linking the Domain Parklands to the Yarra River. It recognises the rich history and stories of the site and is based on extensive community and stakeholder engagement. Construction of the first stage will start Monday 9 July 2018. You can view the interactive Draft Concept Plan here; the plan outlines 10 actions for a new vision for Southbank that will: • create 2.5 hectares of new public open space • prioritise pedestrians, public transport and cyclists • deliver a new, accessible tram stop on Sturt Street • enhance the gateway into the Melbourne Arts Precinct • create a living link, connecting the Domain Parklands to the Yarra River • create a “Melbourne Experience” for Southbank • build a new civic square for the precinct • deliver a series of new neighbourhood parks for the community.
