Projects Under Development
Below is the suite of projects that is being delivered as part of the St Kilda Foreshore Urban Design Framework plan.
| Projects | Description and status |
|---|---|
| Shakespeare Grove
|
 A concept plan for a linear urban plaza to provide better visual and pedestrian connection between Acland Street and the foreshore is in preparation. |
|
Luna Park intersection |
New traffic signals and a new tram stop to ease congestion for vehicles and improve pedestrian access to the green space of the O'Donnell Gardens, are being planned. |
|
Triangle site redevelopment
|
The St Kilda Triangle is the area currently occupied by a carpark next to the Palais Theatre on the St Kilda Foreshore. The redevelopment of this site is currently on hold.
|
| St Kilda skateable space |
St Kilda active recreation and skateable space - Council has agreed on Marina Reserve as the preferred location for skateable infrastructure, and has approved an updated Marina Reserve Master Plan which provides landscaping upgrades and skateable infrastructure. See the Marina Reserve Master Plan page for further detail. |
| St Kilda Harbour |
A safer vibrant harbour with improved wave attenuation, additional moorings and public recreational facilities is being investigated. |
|
Veg Out
|
The popular community garden and arts studio site, open to the public, will remain in its current location. Veg Out is an organic, chemical free garden run by volunteers. Formerly a lawn bowling green, the land Veg Out is situated on is administered by the council for the State of Victoria. Veg Out has over 140 plots where members, friends, families and community groups enjoy getting their hands into the soil and sharing advice, seedlings and friendships. |
|
Catani Gardens
|
The council's master plan for these popular seaside gardens will continue to be implemented. The vision set by Carlo Catani in the early 1900s for the gardens will be reflected in the landscape. Currently in the second of a three-stage program, recent improvements include repair of the heritage volcanic rock wall and heritage path. Forthcoming improvements are plantings and upgrades of the playground and facilities. |
|
Esplanade fence
|
The 'rust proof and resilient' 1960s Besser block wall along the Upper Esplanade will be replaced with a fence more suited to its foreshore setting. |
| Club buildings, kiosks, toilet blocks and other structures | The St Kilda Foreshore UDF aims to return foreshore land to open space over the next 20 years, ensuring fewer, better used facilities remain. |
