Development Victoria is delivering the transformation of the Melbourne Arts Precinct, Australia’s largest cultural infrastructure project, on behalf of Melbourne Arts Precinct Corporation.

What is happening?

The $1.7 billion project will transform Melbourne’s creative precinct – attracting visitors, creating jobs and establishing creative spaces and a vibrant new Public Realm in the heart of the city. Early works are now underway.

The Melbourne Arts Precinct transformation project will deliver:

• 18,000 square metre public parkland
• more space for outdoor art and performances
• new connections into and through the arts precinct
• improved all-abilities access
• new restaurants and bar spaces
• significant upgrades to Arts Centre Melbourne’s Theatres Building
• The Fox: NGV Contemporary gallery
