Two article's in today's Age announcing this large scale development in Melbourne:
"An area more than twice the size of Docklands is to be opened up for inner-city housing under an ambitious plan to be launched within months by the Baillieu government. About 200 hectares of land around Fishermans Bend – now a light-industrial area of factories and vacant lots near West Gate Bridge – is to be transformed into a suburb housing tens of thousands of people."
