11 ways to love Melbourne

9 February 2023

We know and love Melbourne as the culture capital. The sporting capital. The foodie capital. We know its glorious gardens, its bluestone laneways, its epic events. And each neighbourhood within is a world of its own.

People from many cultures call Melbourne home, and intriguing idealists, artists and entrepreneurs alike have created a place for themselves across the changing face of the municipality.

Melbourne has always been an important meeting place and location for events of social, educational, sporting and cultural significance, especially for the five Traditional Owner groups that comprise the Eastern Kulin.

Today we are proud to say that Melbourne is a significant gathering place for all.

Are you in love with Lygon Street? Or do you favour Fawkner Park? Keen to know Kensington? Uncover hidden gems in your local area and get to know the surrounding suburbs.

A series of neighbourhood Future Melbourne Committee meetings will be held in suburbs once a month across the municipality in 2023. And you can explore our Neighbourhood Portals any time.
