South Melbourne Commons

After two years of hard work South Melbourne Commons opened on 10 December 2011.

The South Melbourne Commons (The Commons) is a family friendly community hub. The Commons helps to bring back the sense of living in our local South Melbourne neighbourhood - It's a public place where you bump into your friends and neighbours - It's a place you can visit to buy your fresh organic fruit, vegetables and groceries whilst your kids are engrossed in a gardening workshop. Enjoy a meal and coffee in the cafe or just sit in our beautiful cafe garden and read the newspaper - everyone is welcome at the Commons.
