St Kilda Foreshore Urban Design Framework

St Kilda's much-loved foreshore has featured in the lives of many Australians and international visitors. The ravages of time have taken their toll and the foreshore is now in need of a rejuvenating facelift. An Urban Design Framework is guiding the council's revitalisation of the St Kilda foreshore, in partnership with the Victorian government and the community.

The St Kilda Foreshore Urban Design Framework (UDF) is a strategic planning document to guide the renewal of St Kilda's significant foreshore area. It provides a detailed analysis of the study area and incorporates a set of objectives, opportunities, proposals including the community's aspirations for the area.
