Docklands (also known as Melbourne Docklands to differentiate it from London Docklands) is an inner city suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia occupying an area extending up to 2 km west of and adjacent to Melbourne's Central Business District (CBD). Its Local Government Area is the City of Melbourne. Demographically, Docklands has a population, according to the 2006 Census, of 3,939. Docklands is bounded by Spencer Street, Wurundjeri Way and Charles Grimes bridge to the east, CityLink to the west and Lorimer Street across the Yarra to the south. Docklands is a primarily waterfront area centred around the banks of the Yarra River. The area is the product of an ongoing urban renewal project to extend the area of the CBD (excluding Southbank and St Kilda Road) by over a third when completed around 2015. Docklands includes the Melbourne landmarks Etihad Stadium, Southern Cross Station and the Southern Star Observation Wheel. From the 1880s, the Docklands were used for docks, railinfrastructure and industry but mostly fell out of use following the containerisation of shipping traffic. The space remained vacant and unused during the 1980s and it fell in to disrepair.
