Council approved plan could see Melbourne reclaim longest escalator in southern hemisphere

Melbourne could reclaim their title of having the longest escalator in Australia after the City of Melbourne Council approved a 47-metre escalator in Docklands to be built in 2026.

Deputy lord mayor of Melbourne, Nicholas Reece, says the escalator will span 10 floors and will lead to a function centre.

“I’m sure it will be a huge drawcard it will be great views across Docklands towards Victoria Harbour,” he told Tony Moclair.
