Melbourne council is set to spend a whopping $1.2 million to establish a "Little India" in Docklands with the hope that it will become a "leading cultural precinct" in the city centre.
The location was chosen after the city spent $150,000 on a scoping study to identify a site as a part of efforts to put "Little India on the map." The efforts had been ongoing since 2019 but the council struggled to find a location as Indian businesses in the city were spread across several suburbs.
