  • The Case for Adopting a Melbourne Maritime Heritage Network Approach
    Melbourne – A Great Maritime City The Case for Adopting a Melbourne Maritime Heritage Network Approach The State Government has the overarching authority to establish this Network and deliver benefits aimed specifically at economic up-lift and efficiencies, which so many stakeholders have identified as lacking. Key maritime stakeholders express enthusiasm for an official plan to implement a collaborative approach to link the geographically ‘dispersed’ Maritime Heritage Assets and Precincts via a Network. After extensive consultations with key stakeholders and research over several months during 2017, 2018 and 2019 several urgent actions have emerged, which deliver direct benefit the City of Melbourne, to the State of Victoria and to the public. Note: The State Govt 2019-2020 Annual Budget in effect recognises the poor management of Yarra waterways, allocating $5.1 million to protecting waterways and making specific reference to the need to continue to improve the management of the Yarra River. A Maritime Heritage Network Approach would effectively: • Counter the frustrating bureaucratic tangle, which has led to the ‘deficit’ existing today in relation to Melbourne’s rich maritime legacy. • Acknowledge existence of Melbourne and Victoria’s maritime legacy throughout Greater Melbourne. • Embed Melbourne’s Maritime Trade Legacy within ‘Brand’ Melbourne and Victoria. • Deliver the mutual benefit of a fostering collaboration between the multiple and enthusiastic stakeholder groups in Melbourne and around Greater Melbourne. • Capture the cultural and economic value of the remnant Maritime Trade Legacy. • Optimise the public and private return on investment in maritime assets or sites. • Capture the benefits of shared ticketing, cross promotion etc. in relation to ferry links, tourist maps and public transport options.
