Join us on April 3

Our next Community3008 Inc. meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 3. Doors open at 6pm for a 6.30pm start at Library at the Dock.

This month, we’re welcoming members of the Alma Doepel restoration team, who will share updates on the remarkable work under way to restore one of Melbourne’s last remaining tall ships.

More than just a history lesson, this is a conversation about the future – about how we can ensure heritage vessels remain part of our Docklands identity.

Many of you will be aware that the Alma faces potential eviction from North Wharf this year due to the next phase of development in Docklands. It would be a huge loss to see this proud piece of maritime heritage displaced, especially when there may be an opportunity to create a permanent home for vessels like the Alma in the area currently being cleared by the Central Pier demolition. This is a chance to rally around an important part of our local story.

We’ll also be joined by the acting Neighbourhood Partner from the City of Melbourne, who’ll introduce himself and provide a local government update. If you have questions, concerns or ideas to share, this is your space to speak up, connect, and help shape the future of our neighbourhood.

We’re always looking to welcome more locals into the fold, especially families, young residents and anyone new to the Docklands. If you know someone who might like to get involved, bring them along! Community3008 is built on connection and shared voices.

And if you’re interested in joining the committee, suggesting speakers, or just getting more involved, don’t hesitate to reach out – we’d love to hear from you.
