In 2011, the Port of Melbourne had launched a consultation bearing on the shared spaces which we mentioned last September . The masterplan is now available. It will serve as a basis for the investments which will enable, over the next five years, the quality of the interface spaces between the port and its surroundings to be improved, access to spaces opening onto the port to be provided for the public, and a better knowledge of the port and of its activities for the population to be developed.
