Melbourne in numbers

A city that keeps growing.

A few figures to size the place you are about to choose a home in, and the pace it moves at.

Tram

The Free Tram Zone covers the whole grid and Docklands. Rivera's CBD, Southbank and Docklands residences sit inside it or a short walk from its edge.

Metro Tunnel

Five new stations, Arden, Parkville, State Library, Town Hall and Anzac, link the university belt straight through the centre to the Domain, without a change in the City Loop.

Southern Cross

Regional trains and the SkyBus to Tullamarine leave from Southern Cross. 640 Bourke Street and 623 Collins Street are a few minutes' walk from its doors.

The precincts

Six precincts, six ways to live.

Each has a character of its own. Choose one and the map flies there.

01

Hoddle Grid · CBD

The 1837 grid: free trams, the universities, the State Library and the laneway cafés. Five Rivera residences stand inside it.

Southbank

The south bank of the Yarra: the Arts Centre, NGV, Crown and the new parks of Melbourne Square. A beat quieter than the grid, one bridge away.

03

Docklands

Victoria Harbour and Collins Wharf, where Collins Street meets the water. Marvel Stadium, Southern Cross and The District within a walk.

Chapel Street, Toorak Road and the Botanic Gardens. The established, well-heeled south-east, close to private schools and the clubs.

671 Chapel Street
05

Kew

Green hills, gardens and large homes beside Studley Park. A family suburb known for its schools, ten minutes east of the river.

Piccolo House
06

Parkville · Carlton

The university belt: the University of Melbourne, RMIT, the big hospitals and Lygon Street. The new Parkville Station runs straight into the centre.
