South Melbourne sits just 3 kilometres from Melbourne’s central business district. It is one of Melbourne’s oldest suburbs, with the stately and imposing South Melbourne Town Hall having been built in 1855. Today South Melbourne is part of the City of Port Phillip.
The 11,500 strong population is relatively young, with more 25-45 year olds than the Melbourne average – which contributes to the vibrancy that is very much a part of South Melbourne’s appeal.
South Melbourne is famous for its market, which been selling everything from fashion to fruit, and woks to world foods, since 1867. The market is also the home of the delicious, oversize dim sims, that are now loved right across Melbourne, and known simply as ‘South Melbourne Dimmies’.
The area is packed with businesses – within the City of Port Phillip there are 21,000, offering over 97,000 local jobs. The most significant sector is scientific, professional and technical services (with 22,000 jobs and employing over 20% of the population), followed by retail, healthcare and hospitality.
