The Melbourne Town Hall is located just a short stroll from many of the city’s restaurants, hotels and shopping areas making it easily accessed by foot or public transport. The entertainment precincts of Southbank Boulevard, Docklands and Federation Square are a pleasant ten-minute riverside stroll away.
