Who we are


City of Melbourne

As a local government authority, we strive to achieve the community’s vision for Melbourne to be a bold, inspirational and sustainable city, as outlined in Future Melbourne, the community plan created together with the public to guide how the city should evolve to 2020.

The City of Melbourne is the municipality which covers the central city and 16 inner city suburbs. More than 116,000 people call the municipality home and a further 728,000 people visit the central city every day for work and play.

The City of Melbourne is the central precinct for Greater Melbourne and is a thriving residential, entertainment, cultural and educational precinct with a rapidly growing population as more people seek its many business, work, study and social opportunities.
