Harbour Esplanade

The first stage of works to transform Docklands' Harbour Esplanade was completed in 2011. The Harbour Esplanade redevelopment will ultimately see this important public space transformed into a new harbourside park for Melbourne. The first stage of works, between, Bourke Street and Docklands Drive, saw the creation of a tree-lined boulevard, dedicated bike and pedestrian paths, and the realignment of tram tracks into the centre of the roadway, to provide additional parkland and recreational space.
