the Footscray Renewal project

The construction of a new footbridge in Footscray is an integral part of the Brumby Government’s $52.1 million Renewal project.

“The design includes stairs, lifts, security cameras, lighting and architecturally designed canopies and will be a landmark feature for Footscray.”

Vibrant on Swanton Street

the “Three businessmen who brought their own lunch; Batman Swanston and Hoddle”. It is one of Melbourne’s most popular sculptures and most photographed statue. It is on the corner of the Burke St. mall and Swanston walk. It was unveiled in 1994 as a “gift of the people and government of Nauru.” There is no mention on the plaque as to who the artist are; it was made by Melbourne sculptors, Alison Weaver and Paul Quinn.
