Free bookable spaces for First Nations community organisations

Melbourne is a city for all people. As part of our Reconciliation Action Plan we’re committed to providing opportunities which support cultural, social and economic development for Aboriginal Victorians.

The City of Melbourne is offering Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community organisations the opportunity to book spaces at our libraries and community hubs for free.

Our libraries and community hubs have comfortable, functional and versatile spaces to hire. From multipurpose rooms to recording studios, our spaces are here to help your organisation continue the deadly work you do for the community.

  • meetings
  • community education programs

  • training
  • exhibitions
  • music and multimedia production
  • passive indoor recreational activities
  • cultural events
  • celebrations.

Spaces can be booked any day of the week between 7am to 10pm, subject to availability.
