Moor in Melbourne
Our story...

(Music)

[Narrator] A Docklands unique selling point is the water and movement on the water is important.

A vibrant waterway with plenty of traffic, it enhances the visitor experience for everyone.

Creating an appropriate social landscape was part of the broader activation strategy. Making sure the customer enjoys the whole experience is important to us. Everything from having the marina lounge clean to activities on the promenade.

Melbourne City Marina is a great facility. It's got all the creature comforts. 
It's one of the best views in Melbourne.

People love looking around the harbour and beauties like this attract heaps of attention.

To achieve the 365 days of activation we rely heavily on the commercial operators and nurturing the industry and providing the right infrastructure. You know it's critically important.

In Docklands everybody's welcome small or large. It's all about activation for us and getting boats on the water . We love it when we can put up a full house sign on the marina.

Why moor in Melbourne?

(Music)

[Uncredited] It's fairly simple really to moor in the heart of Melbourne.

Having a facility like this pretty much in the middle of Melbourne you know great city, good place to come for holiday. 

The crew is fantastic - you come in and they help you type your boat.

They really do look after you here Melbourne. 

The tram's just next door, free train into the city. If you need to go upstairs and ask a question, someone's always there.

The facilities are absolute fantastic their first rate.

Lovely wind pens and easy to use. Powers always on.  It's a fantastic facility.

The kids love coming up here for a few nights and you know we'll do a spot of shopping, kids will go ice skating.

We watch the fireworks in July and August as well New Year. It doesn't matter if it's hot, doesn't matter if it's cold. 

Really friendly bunch of people here, not a hassle at all, it's great.

The location, why would you need to go anywhere else it's great.
