Melbourne City Suburbs - West Melbourne
West Melbourne is a sprawling region mostly devoted to railway
lines, container yards, shipping docks, and industrial,
warehouse and wholesale activities.
In West Melbourne, you’ll find the Melbourne Wholesale Fruit and
Vegetable Market, the Coode Island petrochemical facility and
the large Appleton Dock.
There is also a small area with houses and businesses. The most
significant open space is the Flagstaff Gardens.
Residential area
West Melbourne's residential area can be characterised in a
similar fashion to North Melbourne, namely it is a dynamic and
complex residential and mixed-use area. It has a strong
residential base of established and new dwelling stock.
Commercial and industrial properties are scattered throughout
the area, together with retail and community facilities.
Many areas in West Melbourne, including streetscapes and
buildings, have been recognised for their heritage significance.
Similar to North Melbourne, parts of West Melbourne are
experiencing increasing pressure for residential development,
especially in the city fringe areas.
