Docklands Primary School (interim name)

The Victorian Government made a commitment to deliver 100 new schools between 2019 and 2026. This includes the new Docklands Primary School that will open in 2021.

The school will help alleviate enrolment pressures for surrounding schools and meet demand from a growing inner-Melbourne population.

The school will include a library, music and arts rooms, administration areas and outdoor learning terraces.

Provision review

In September 2015, the Department of Education and Training and some specialist consultants assessed the need for primary and secondary schools in Docklands.

The review covered the Docklands and the immediate surrounding suburbs of North Melbourne, West Melbourne, Melbourne, Parkville and Flemington.

Community Engagement

Early in 2017, we asked the local community about their aspirations and ideas for a primary school in Docklands.

Community feedback received during the community engagement stage was collected and given to the architects to incorporate into the school building design.

The Community Engagement Report below provides a summary of these key findings from feedback we gathered online or at community workshops.
