Docklands Studios Melbourne, Film production complex in Docklands, Australia.
Docklands Studios Melbourne is a production complex in a waterfront area near Melbourne with five sound stages, offices, and workshops for film and television work. The facility includes specialized zones for set building, prop creation, and costume design.
The complex opened in 2004 following a partnership between the Victorian Government and a private company aimed at strengthening film production in Melbourne. Its creation was part of a broader effort to develop the media industry in the city.
The complex serves as a workplace for filmmakers and crew from Victoria, supporting the local production industry. Many Australian films and television shows are made here, employing technicians, designers, and other professionals from the region.
The studios sit about 2 km (1.2 mi) from central Melbourne and are easily reached by public transport and major highways. Parking is available on-site for visitors.
The largest sound stage contains a water tank holding close to one million liters. This underwater facility allows filmmakers to shoot scenes that require water and special effects involving aquatic elements.
