Seafarers Rest, a 3,500 square metre public park in Docklands has received final approval from the City of Melbourne, with Oculus tasked with designing the park as part of Riverlee’s Seafarers development.
The park – sitting on the northern banks of the Yarra River – will provide more open green spaces to users, residents and visitors of the Northbank precinct, and will become a vital link between the area and the CBD. The park will be the largest outside of Birrarrung Marr that allows connection to the river, and will honour both its First Nation and European maritime history.
The project has been completed in collaboration by Riverlee, the City of Melbourne and the Victorian Government’s Department of Treasury and Finance. Final approval was granted at a Future Melbourne Committee meeting on Tuesday.

Melbourne-based private property development group Riverlee collaborated with the City of Whittlesea and government agencies to help fast-track various permits for their $2-billion mixed-use development, New Epping.
With the Victorian Government’s Building Victoria Recovery Taskforce (BVRT) fast-tracking the approvals due to the project’s significant community benefit and employment opportunities, works amounting to $194 million have been green-lighted.
These include a private hospital to be operated by one of the world’s largest private healthcare operators, Ramsay Health Care as well as 151 affordable housing apartments, alongside key supporting infrastructure. Together, these approved works will deliver on key state and local government policies, including affordable housing and healthcare, and will also create 720 construction jobs and 220 ongoing jobs, helping revitalise the local economy.
