Before the Banfield Dock expansion, there was another small but impactful dock design in the Gorge waterway.

Project Albero, a floating circular dock, emerged from a collaboration between local companies Aryze, DAU and Biophilia. Inspired by the successes of other harbor cities, where residents flock to the water on hot summer days, the team reflected, “It struck us that in Victoria, we have all the bones for this lifestyle, but our public realm is disconnected from its potential for harbor recreation.”

With the introduction of the Banfield Dock expansion just four years later, its clear that this small intervention has done exactly what it set out to do and convinced many Victorians to connect with the water and go for a dip!
