Suburbs and neighbourhoods

The City of Melbourne municipality includes suburbs, which are referred to as neighbourhoods, that people from many cultures call home and where diverse private businesses and government organisations are located.

The unique neighbourhoods - Carlton, Parkville, East Melbourne, West Melbourne, North Melbourne, Kensington, Docklands, South Yarra, Southbank and the CBD Hoddle Grid – all have their own needs, services and priorities.

Our 37.7 km2 municipality also includes most of Melbourne's famous sporting venues and major parks and gardens. View a map of the City of Melbourne municipality.
