The Greenline Project is a transformative urban development project targeting the north bank of Melbourne's Yarra River, Birrarung. It aligns closely with the strategic objectives of both the Melbourne City Council and the community, aiming to enhance the well-being of residents, workers and visitors while preserving and promoting the ecological health of the river and its surroundings.
Symal's involvement in the project, specifically the Site One component, concentrates on enriching ecological diversity and habitat along the parkland edge. The project's objectives include introducing innovative boardwalks, enhancing the promenade and establishing improved gathering spaces conducive to cultural activities and community events. These initiatives aim to solidify the area's role as a vibrant hub for celebrations and major city events.
Our scope of work includes a wide range of tasks essential for the project's success, including constructing boardwalks, installing lighting and electrical infrastructure, implementing stormwater drainage solutions and creating various meadows and vegetation zones. Symal and Wamarra are also responsible for building pavements, footpaths, retaining walls, seating areas and other structural elements necessary for enhancing accessibility and comfort for visitors. Sycle is also keeping things clean and sustainable, with Green Star-accredited skip bins on site and downstream processing that helps cut landfill waste and repurpose materials wherever possible.
Since mobilisation in March, we’ve achieved several key milestones:
Site establishment and handover
The main electrical, communications, and irrigation lines installed, and service boring works completed.
Boardwalk piling works and headstock installations completed
Riverbank soft landscaping works with meadows and vegetation zones continuing to take shape.
Boardwalk structure and decking underway.
Stormwater drainage works kicked off.
Concrete bleacher/stair and retaining wall works have begun.
One of the project’s key breakthroughs? Using boring methods instead of open trenching, which has allowed us to protect sensitive tree zones without slowing down delivery. We’ve also deployed a Davit Arm Fall Restraint System to safely access steep embankments for landscaping works - a simple and key innovative solution to a complex access challenge.
“You’ve got layers of technical challenges, environmental constraints and tight timelines but we’ve got a team that thrives on that. There’s a real sense of purpose knowing this space will become part of people’s everyday lives,” said Nick Loucaides, Operations Manager.
A city-shaping legacy
We’re making our mark on a part of Melbourne that tells a bigger story. Greenline brings culture and community together like few projects can. Being part of this means shaping a space that will become woven into the city’s rhythm for generations to come.
Working closely with Wamarra and Sycle, we’re creating vibrant places that will host conversations, performances, celebrations and quiet moments - spaces that genuinely belong to the people of Melbourne.
This strong collaboration isn’t just about working side by side, it’s the way we build better together. And there’s plenty more to come as we bring the finishing touches to life, shaping a riverfront that’s alive, welcoming and uniquely Melbourne.
The Greenline Project is on track for completion in late 2025, delivering a space that will serve and inspire for generations to come.
