Melburnians could soon be soaring high above the MCG, travelling from the city to Richmond Station on a new cable car system.

Under a grant aerial plan pitched to treasury, the ‘Skyloop’ would take off from Flinders Street Station, gliding 20 metres above the train tracks along Birrarung Marr.

Passengers would disembark outside the iconic MCG, before the cars rise to a height of one hundred metres and move towards a redeveloped eight-level Richmond Station.

The journey would conclude at AAMI Stadium, with a new 3000-space car park built underneath.

Architect Robert Caulfield is the brains behind the innovative idea, taking inspiration from other cable cars overseas.

“We want to make Melbourne more visible to the whole world,” Mr Caulfield told 9NEWS.

His team estimates the system could service more than two million tourist trips a year and provide inner-city congestion relief.

“With roads no railways it's low cost,” Mr Caulfield said.

The price tag on the project is $700 million. (9news)

The total cost of the project is an eye-watering $700 million, with Mr Caulfield calling for the Victorian government to corral a group of people and develop his idea further, but they’re yet to jump on board.
