Melburnians and visitors will soon be enjoying a lush, green river edge as the City of Melbourne releases its exciting plans for the first stage of the transformative Greenline Project.
The project is set to deliver more than 450 metres of new boardwalk and paths within the Birrarung Marr precinct, including a six metre-wide promenade to provide a safer, more scenic journey along the north bank of the Yarra River – Birrarung.
The plans will celebrate the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung connection to Country, providing an ongoing opportunity for shared storytelling of place and appreciation of indigenous flora and fauna.
A new and improved Birrarung Marr will continue to host some of Melbourne’s most popular events, including Moomba, the Night Noodle Market and the Australian Open.
Melburnians are encouraged to have their say on the draft plans for Birrarung Marr Precinct Site One, beginning Tuesday 2 August. Community consultation will remain open for six weeks.
The opening of community engagement for this project marks the beginning of the first stage of The Greenline Project, which will deliver an uninterrupted 4km journey from Birrarung Marr to the Bolte Bridge.
Council’s Greenline Implementation Plan outlines the revitalisation for the five precincts of Greenline – including Birrarung Marr, The Falls, River Park, Maritime and Salt Water Wharf Precincts.
