·Background Info:
On 16 September 2013, the Premier and the Minister for Planning announced the commencement of community engagement and released the Fisherman Bend Urban Renewal Area Draft Vision and Interim Fishermans Bend Design Guidelines. Community engagement for the project concluded on 22 November 2013. The redevelopment of Fishermans Bend is one of Australia’s largest urban renewal projects.
The approximately 250-hectare area is expected to become home to 80,000 residents and 40,000 high-productivity jobs over the next 30 to 50 years. Three kilometres south-west of the Melbourne CBD, Fishermans Bend will provide an alternative to the continued outward growth of the city, giving more people the choice to live closer to existing jobs, services, public spaces and transport connections.
Precincts
The Fishermans Bend Urban Renewal Area has four precincts. Lorimer precinct is located in the City of Melbourne on the eastern side of the Bolte Bridge. It was named after Sir James Lorimer, president of the Melbourne Chamber of Commerce in 1868-70, founding chairman of the Melbourne Harbour Trust, a founder of the Free Trade League and member of the Victorian Parliament.
Montague, Sandridge, and Wirraway precincts are in the City of Port Phillip. Montague is named after Montague Street, itself named after John Montague, 4th Earl of Sandwich and Lord of the Admiralty 1771-1782. Sandridge was the original name for Port Melbourne. Wirraway is named for the iconic Australian military aircraft built by the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation at Fishermans Bend.
