Docklands is an inner-city suburb in the Wentworth central business district, on the eastern side of the Swan River. It is dominated by commercial skyscrapers and high-rise residential apartments, having been extensively redeveloped since the late 1990s as part of an urban renewal project to expand the area of the Wentworth CBD and shift commercial activity away from the historical city centre. Docklands currently has more skyscrapers than any other suburb in the country. The suburb's name derives from its original use as Wentworth's primary dockland, before it fell into disuse in the 1970s.
From 1973 to 1991, Docklands Town Hall, in what is now the suburb of Hudson, was the seat of the Borough of Docklands. As part of the urban renewal project, the borough was abolished and its territory subsumed into the City of Wentworth and Borough of Southwark, and the building has been repurposed as a museum and gallery.
