The Docklands Summer Campaign

We are so excited to have a whole range of events involving collaborations between Docklands’ traders in February.

We have ferry trips coming from Portarlington and combining with the brand new Hoyts Docklands. We have a very special Valentines offer linking Berth restaurant and the gorgeous Birrarung from Melbourne Boat Hire.

The Melbourne Star features heavily, as does a fantastic night at Urban Alley and Cirque Electriq and we round out the month at Merchant Society and Tap831 for a progressive dining experience. Jump on our Facebook and hit the events tag but keep in mind these events are selling out.

Hotels in Docklands

This month we welcome another gorgeous hotel in Docklands – Quest NewQuay. That brings our hotel rooms in the precinct to more than 1000 and we still have the Marriott and Hotel Indigo to come in the next two years. While Docklands still struggles to brush the stigma that some Melburnians attach to it, the rest of Australia and the world are in love with us.

Australia Day at Docklands

In late December we put out a call for restaurants who wanted to get involved with early promotions for Australia Day.

Those that did scored some amazing free promotion and high-quality images and videos along with two feature stories in Leader newspapers. Follow our pages and socials for the latest promotions from the City of Melbourne, from the state government or huge activations like Run4TheKids.

Run 4 The Kids

Speaking of that, we were the first to announce Run 4 The Kids was coming to Docklands way back in November.

At the time of writing there is already some 10,000 entrants and, for the first time, both the long and the short run will be heading over the Bolte Bridge. Normally only those participating in the long run are rewarded with that view.

April 7 is the date so get your entries in.
