Laneway Breakthroughs

Inspired by central Melbourne’s world-famous laneways, central Geelong’s Laneways Action Plan identifies opportunities to create new pathways through the city. Improving Geelong’s laneway network by enhancing existing and creating new corridors, will significantly contribute to the future liveability and economic prosperity of the city.

The expansion of Geelong’s laneway network is one step closer, with a project to extend Dennys Place from Malop Street through to Little Malop Street now complete.

Laneways make it easier to move around and improve the connectivity of a city. The new Dennys Place passage better links the Malop Street Green Spine, the city’s waterfront and the university precinct with Little Malop Street’s thriving shops, food outlets and nightlife.

The Dennys Place laneway also improves pedestrian access for thousands of office workers from the WorkSafe and NDIA head offices as they frequent the popular Little Malop Street al fresco precinct.
