The renewal story
Between the port and the city.
Between the Port of Melbourne and the CBD: the Dynon corridor is one of central Melbourne's great long-term renewal opportunities. Today a working rail-freight precinct, tomorrow's chapter still to be written, with Arden and E-Gate transforming next door.
No structure plan has been prepared for Dynon itself. Published strategy places the corridor in the central-city renewal pipeline with no timeframe assigned, while industrial land use around the port is retained today.
