Port Melbourne Vista: A new maritime passenger terminal in VIC
Project Highlight: Meso Space has proposed a concept design for a new maritime passenger terminal called Port Melbourne Vista. This initiative elaborates on social sustainability and the potential new branding it could bring to Melbourne as the premier tourism capital in Australia. Vista will evolve into an internationally renowned destination, serving as a hub for cruise ships and their passengers.
The concept design for this terminal emerges from the pressing need to accommodate the growing demand within the cruise ship passenger industry. Discussions and proposals have been ongoing since 2020, highlighting the necessity for such infrastructure to address current needs and prepare for future expansion. The envisioned terminal aims to enhance Melbourne’s capacity to manage maritime activities in a sustainable and efficient manner, ensuring the city maintains its position as a key player in the global cruise industry.
The selected site for this terminal is in the Bay West area, specifically near Werribee South. This location has been carefully chosen due to its strategic proximity to existing port infrastructure, ensuring its effectiveness in meeting the anticipated growth and demands of the future in Victoria.
