I am excited by the idea of creating and restoring wetlands areas. Making previously inaccessible river frontage usable is wonderful.
It would be great to understand what type of commercial retail you are targeting in new and revamped areas. Market style food and bookshops would be a great addition.
Would love to see a market style, traders shed, some dining hall in this area, would be a draw card potentially and improve foot traffic for local business also.
This is such a neglected and poorly used area at the moment and the visualisations look like it will really invigorate local and tourist visitation and usage as well as improve the river ecology and provide more green spaces.
Given Melbourne's very temperamental weather, please ensure the walkways have good non-slip properties when it gets wet.
This is an important cycling corridor and simply widening the path without explicit cycling lanes would only mean pedestrians walk in wider areas.
I especially love the wetland vegetation and would enjoy walking through there and seeing fauna living in that habitat.
Consider rise in sea level and how this will impact all activity and built infrastructure along the river and beyond. Is there more that can be done in this wonderful plan to mitigate inundation due to future rise in sea level?
Collins Wharf Park looks more interesting as a destination with more natural environment and scope to learn about culture etc.
Maybe include some small shelter areas as the weather in Melbourne is quite exciting and changeable.
