Port Melbourne, Administrative division in City of Port Phillip, Australia
Port Melbourne extends along the northern edge of Port Phillip Bay, covering 10.62 square kilometers of land south of Melbourne's central business district.
The area transformed from Sandridge Borough in 1860 to Port Melbourne in 1884, functioning as an independent municipality until merging with Port Phillip in 1994.
The neighborhood maintains multiple parks, recreational spaces, and public facilities that support community activities and local gatherings throughout the year.
The local administration manages essential services including waste collection, parking permits, and business support for residents and commercial establishments.
The Port Melbourne Town Hall at Bay Street intersection now functions as a municipal library, preserving the architectural heritage of this coastal district.
