We would like Yarra’s Edge as a separate suburb having its own post code 3007, which I believe is available. Southbank has 3006 and Docklands has 3008 so why not? We still will come under the Docklands precinct but, as an area, our population is growing rapidly and our area has some unique qualities that needs to be identified separately to the Docklands area.

When I say I live in Docklands every single person thinks “Victoria Harbour”. If the new number is not acceptable use: “Yarra’s Edge 3008” This practice exists in other areas.

I have lived in Yarra‘s edge ( Docklands) for 10 years in the past 10 years a lot has changed with a lot more high rise towers going up most taxi drives Uber and friends in general consider Doclands to be on the marvel stadium side and it courses a lot of confusion as a result when we order an Uber or taxi ride they get lost and end up on the other side resulting in cancellations and frustration by both parties as Uber charge a 10 dollar cancellation fee as well as making residents of yarra’s edge after running late or missing appointments the idea of living in the city is so we don’t require a vehicle but that has become very frustrating due to the confusion regards Docklands

Yarra's Edge is physically separated from the main Docklands area by the Yarra river and such requires its own identity. Precedence is set across other areas of Melbourne which have barriers that distinguish between regions be they main roads, creeks and airports.

The change of postcode would really help deliveries as the drivers usally end up on the other side of the river or even the DFO area.

We live in a unique part of Melbourne which is more closely associated with Port Melbourne

Certainly a great idea. Most Melbournians don't realise that part of Docklands is on the south side of the river. Renaming it would avoid confusion.
