Community hub now open

Docklands’ own Community Hub at The Dock is now operating.

The $8.5 million community and boating hub is located next to Library at The Dock and will provide both family services and facilities for local boating groups.

The City of Melbourne has begun delivering family services from the centre and local boating clubs are expected to move in to the facility in early December.

A community launch event is planned for February.

The two-storey facility offers a community boating hub on the ground floor, which will be home to the Docklands Yacht Club, Dragon Boat Victoria and the Melbourne Outrigger Canoe Club.

On the second floor you’ll find Docklands’ family services centre, which includes maternal and child health services, a playgroup room, an outdoor playground and a multi-purpose room for community hire.

The new community facility was developed through a tri-partite agreement between Places Victoria, the City of Melbourne and Lend Lease.
