A strategic inner-city corridor - City of Melbourne (long-term renewal)

Planning context

A long-term renewal opportunity, not an approved plan.

There is no structure plan for Dynon. What follows is the published planning context that surrounds the corridor today.

Plan Melbourne renewal pipeline

The Dynon corridor is identified in the central-city renewal pipeline, with no timeframe assigned.

Industrial retention (MICLUP 2020)

The Melbourne Industrial and Commercial Land Use Plan retains land around the Port of Melbourne at Dynon predominantly for industrial uses.

Arden precinct

The adjacent Arden precinct structure plan was gazetted 28 July 2022. Arden's figures apply to Arden, not to Dynon.

E-Gate

The neighbouring E-Gate rail land has long been flagged for renewal and sits directly beside the corridor.

Freight and port function

Dynon's rail freight terminals remain an operating part of the state freight network today.

Open space and creek corridor

The Moonee Ponds Creek corridor runs nearby and features in central-city open-space thinking.

Status: URBAN RENEWAL OPPORTUNITY (long term) - Plan Melbourne lists the Dynon corridor in the central-city renewal pipeline with no timeframe assigned, while the Melbourne Industrial and Commercial Land Use Plan (2020) retains land around the Port of Melbourne at Dynon predominantly for industrial uses. The adjacent Arden precinct structure plan was gazetted 28 July 2022. Do not treat any dwelling yield or timeline as approved for Dynon itself.
