Query over this IPs recent changes
The recent changes made by 202.147.143.242 sound like they're lifted from the Docklands' PR department. Cnwb 08:32, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Melbourne eye?
i found some more information: http://www.waterfrontcity.com.au/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=11&Itemid=34
 * anyone got any decent information on the proposed melbourne eye equivelant planned for this area? i haven't heard a thing about it in quite some time....


 * i just put in a request to the above website asking if they would release some info/images for use on this site. :)

An area, not just a project?
Isn't the Docklands an area, not just a renewal project? Andjam 08:20, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

True. An interesting fact is that a job advertisment in the Age newspaper listed "Wikipedia" editing as a function under a Docklands marketing role! The article as it stands needs 90% of it rewritten to remove the VicUrban PR 203.57.241.67 04:36, 1 February 2007 (UTC)Encise

Number of Visitors
Is it reasonable to go from an estimate of 55,000 visitors per day to an estimate of over 2,000,000 per year? After all, doesn't this suppose that not one of the visitors makes a repeat visit in that one year?

Webb Bridge
Any information on this landmark pedestrian bridge ? --Biatch 03:31, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Webb bridge is a special bridge getting across the river for people Corey enright (talk) 07:31, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Removed image
I removed this image - it doesn't represent the specific Docklands precinct at all. invincible 05:16, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

NPOV / marketing speak
"The Innovation building accommodates companies and education bodies with a strong emphasis on research and development, incubation and the commercialisation of innovation products cross-pollinating ideas between Australia's brightest and best technology tenants."

That line made me laugh. The second half of that sentence has zero substance and is full of buzzwords. I'm currently in the process of removing marketing spin from the article, there are a lot of lines similar lacking substance or full of unsubstantiated claims ("abcd is the best blah blah blah"). If 203.57.241.67's comments about VicUrban using employees to edit Wikipedia articles are true, I (and other editors) will not hesitate to remove anything that doesn't follow the Wikipedia guidelines.

"In an Australian first, the new building will have an environment rating of at least 5 stars."

Also removed this comment regarding the ANZ headquarters because at best it's misleading and at worst, incorrect. Council House 2 in the Melbourne CBD already has a 6 star rating. 

"The riverfront promenade incorporated into the development is an extension of the existing Southbank Promenade to the east."

Removed this because I don't believe that to be true. In between the Southbank promenade and Yarra's Edge is the exhibition centre, the under construction convention centre and a major road so I'd consider the two to be separate.

Most other stuff I've removed can be found in the diff of my edit.

Batman's Hill
I've removed both Flinders Wharf and Victoria Police from this section because they don't actually form part of Batman's Hill; they're a part of the Northbank area. I've also added a couple more developments which were missing and tried to work the Rail Goods Shed in as well.--Archi stu 13:36, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Coastal area ?
By what definition ? Because it is saltwater ? --Biatch (talk) 22:17, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

"Campus" style
I think this term needs more definition. Is this with regards to the building size/height ? Campus typically means a group of buildings surrounded by gardens and open space. --Biatch (talk) 22:20, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Another picture
Maybe we can find a collocation also for this picture: --Pokipsy76 (talk) 14:11, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Clarification
"After almost a decade of planning, urban renewal in earnest began with the construction of Docklands Stadium (then known as Colonial Stadium) in 1996. Completion is expected in 2015."

Perhaps change this to "Completion of the Docklands urban renewal project is expected in 2015."

Otherwise it reads as if the Docklands Stadium will be completed in 2015.

Southern_Cross_Station
Southern_Cross_Station is a real page. Others are not; for example: Spencer Street station; Southern Cross railway station). wcrosbie, Melbourne, Australia 00:03, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Combining Vic Dock with Doocklands
I don't agree with this - if you want to combine anything it should be these 2 the other way round. After all Vic dock was first and will be remembered. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.151.39.120 (talk) 03:38, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
