Docklands was originally swamp land that transformed into a bustling port in the 1880s before falling into disuse in the late 20th century. Urban renewal began in the early 2000s, turning the waterfront into a mix of contemporary architecture, corporate headquarters, and residential developments.
At the 2021 census Docklands had 15,495 residents. Only about 27 % were born in Australia, with significant communities from China, India, South Korea, and Malaysia, and roughly one‑third speak only English at home.
Docklands hosts the national headquarters of several corporations, including the National Australia Bank, Medibank, and the Bureau of Meteorology, as well as regional offices for firms such as Ericsson and the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service.
