Suburbs and precincts 

Melbourne, one of the world’s most liveable cities, is the capital city of Victoria, Australia. It is a city of energy, sophistication and innovation. It is also a city of history and cultural diversity.

Melbourne's economic and political centre is located within the Central Business District (CBD). This 37.6sqkm area includes most of Melbourne's famous sporting venues and major parks and gardens.

Almost 90,000 people from a wide range of cultures and backgrounds live in the muncipality, which takes in the suburbs of Carlton, Docklands, East Melbourne, Kensington/Flemington, Melbourne and the CBD, North Melbourne, Parkville, Port Melbourne, Southbank, South Yarra and West Melbourne.

The City of Melbourne’s Boundary map shows the boundaries of the municipality, while Suburb maps show the streets and boundaries of individual suburbs.
