Docklands

Melbourne Docklands is where the city’s beating heart meets the water. This prime waterfront destination showcases the very best of Australia’s most sophisticated city – world-class restaurants and stylish cafés, a subtle fusion of historic and contemporary architecture, the latest in technology and sustainable design and beautiful open spaces lined with urban art.

This sophisticated urban environment has something for everyone. It’s now home for thousands of residents, headquarters for some of Australia’s most successful companies and the venue of choice for Melbourne’s premier events.

With our Water Village based in Waterfront City, our Run and Walk will take in all the features of the Docklands precinct, which no other event is yet to do. The new streets and laneways, along the waterside past many attractions, cafes, parks, retail and business developments including Waterfront City, Etihad Stadium, New Quay, AFL House, and Harbour Esplanade.

After your run or walk our Live Earth Water Villages will provide something extra special, with a live concert, and water education activities to help raise awareness of the world’s water crisis.

Importantly the development of Docklands has aimed to incorporate principles of ecologically sustainable development and Melbourne Docklands is one of Australia’s best examples of applying Water Sensitive Urban Design principles, connecting the community with their environment in a sustainable way.

So come and run, walk, learn about water issues, and enjoy the new hub of Melbourne.
