Getting there

By car:

There is parking available around the town hall and in the near by train station car park. But given it's inner Melbourne,  parking is limited so we recommend, where possible, people get a taxi/uber to/from the venue. We have some parking available for those arriving in wheelchairs. Please follow the prompts in the order system if this applies to you or your fellow guests.

By Train:

The best public transport option is coming by train as the Collingwood train station is behind the town hall and a short minute's walk.  

By Tram:

Catch tram number 109 or 12 from Collins Street in the city and alight at Victoria Parade. From Victoria Parade it is a twenty minute walk.

By Bus:

There are a number of buses that travel along Hoodle Street. Please go to:  https://www.ptv.vic.gov.au for more information.
