Melbourne Town Hall Map

Melbourne Town Hall is on the corner of Collins and Swanston Street in the CBD. The address is 90/130 Swanston Street, Melbourne VIC 3000.

The closest train station to the Town Hall is Flinders Street Station. The closest tram stop is Town Hall/Collins Street which is serviced by trams 109, 48, 12, 11 and 6.

The nearest car park is Wilsons Parking on 172-192 Flinders Lane. Please note that Swanston Street is closed to cars and only vehicles with a special permit can enter Swanston Street. For that reason, we highly recommend public transport as the main mode of transport for attendees. There are drop-off zones on Collins Street that are a short walking distance from the Town Hall Main Entrance.

Accessibility

Melbourne Town Hall is wheelchair accessible. Enter the venue via the copper doors which are situated on the left-hand side when facing the main entrance and take the lift to Level 1. All Melbourne Town hall rooms are fully accessible.

Melbourne Townhall has accessible restrooms located on the Ground and Third Floor.

Registration and security

Town Hall has security personnel stationed at the main entrance on Swanston Street. Please note that it is a venue requirement and condition of entry that all bags are searched by Security.

There will be a registration desk located in the Level 1 Foyer, directly up the stairs from the main entrance. You can pick up your badge and lanyard here. Please note that you are required to keep your lanyard on at all times during the conference.

Photo policy

We will have a videographer and photographer roaming on the day. If you are not comfortable with being filmed or photographed, please let one of our organisers or volunteers know at registration time and they will provide you with a colour-coded lanyard to indicate this.

Coffee cart

The image is split into two scenes. On the left, an espresso machine pours fresh coffee into two white cups, capturing a moment in a bustling coffee shop with the barista's hand in motion. On the right, an assortment of gourmet canapés is presented on wooden boards, featuring a variety of toppings like smoked salmon, cream cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and cured meats on toasted bread, suggesting a catering setup for an event.
