Vote to shape our future city spaces. 

We invited innovators, entrepreneurs, businesses, students and the community to submit smart and tech-based ideas ready for piloting in Melbourne's oldest innovation precinct, Fishermans Bend. We now have three worthy finalists and need your help to decide which one will receive $90,000 to help bring their idea to life for testing

The top three are: 

  • A smart street-side composting,
