We’re not too far away from Firelight

You will soon start to see some heavy promotions coming through for the Firelight Festival on June 29, 30 and July 1.

All activations and events are currently being locked away, but we can tell you that it will be bigger and better than last year which saw 30,000 visitors to Docklands over the three nights.

This year there will also be a whole-harbour focus, so you’ll see attractions on both sides of the harbour and along the Esplanade.

We will post updates and events across all our social media and our website so continue to check our blog for the most up to date information – http://www.docklandscc.com.au/blog

The District Docklands

We were at the concrete breaking ceremony for the fresh food precinct being built at The District Docklands, just part of their redevelopment.

Hoyts is also constructing the most technologically advanced cinema in all of Australia. All in all, we love what is being created.

Uniting members and stakeholders

We currently sit with over 180 members and, by the time this column is published, will have also pulled together around 70 stakeholders to hear the exact format for Docklands winter activations.

Our major focus is to build a business community that works together.

So, stay informed and get involved – our Facebook profile has over 152 000 followers and always has the latest information regarding events and offers – http://www.fb.me/MelbDock. It’s also available to advertise on, as is our website. Contact us at [email protected]

A changing of staff

Lastly, Kristie Gatti who has served as our executive officer for the past year, has returned to the full-time work force and has vacated her position.

We thank her for her time and effort with the Chamber and we are now working through the process to replace her.
