Many people are unaware of the stories of those who have lived and worked at the Melbourne Docklands throughout this city’s long industrial history.
Neglect or disinterest means many people can’t appreciate an important element of Melbourne’s heritage: the seaport and the industry it provides.
Melburnians would benefit from a visual portrayal of the stories from our waterfront’s history through the medium of video documentary which would be on permanent public display at the newly-commissioned Melbourne Maritime Museum.
Insight into Melbourne’s history promotes a better understanding and appreciation of the city we live in and the culture we share.
