Introducing our work with the Yarra/Birrarung River

A former Councillor and Mayor of the City of Port Phillip, Janet is a true pioneer of connecting people with places.  

Immersed in the ever-changing Port Melbourne, Fishermans Bend, Yarra River and the Port of Melbourne, she curates the Port Places project, documenting, observing and exploring the highlights of Port Phillip Bay and the Lower Yarra through weekly posts and walking tours. Through Port Places, Janet has been able to educate and engage the local community as well as international visitors and students. These areas are key to Melbourne’s waterways and urban development future.
