Docklands could have its own place of worship by 2015.
Places Victoria has earmarked the corner of Footscray Rd and Little Docklands Drive as the site for the project.
A place of worship was one of 30 projects included in the Docklands Community and Place Plan released in July this year.
A Docklands place of worship was also promised in the Victorian Liberal Nationals Coalition Plan for Planning in 2010.
This, along with a football oval and sporting facilities such as a basketball or netball court, is yet to be delivered.
The planned site could become a mixed-use development. Places Victoria will consider developments which include commercial elements such as a child-care centre, offices or retail space if necessary to make the project possible.
Places Victoria is also seeking submissions which demonstrate a community benefit. This may include co-sharing the premises with other denominations or providing education and training facilities.
Places Victoria will soon seek expressions of interest from groups interested in developing a place of worship in Docklands
It is expected that the Docklands place of worship will be built or under construction by 2015.
