Works are ramping up around the CBD, but it’s business as usual for your favourite shops.

Flinders Quarter

The Flinders Quarter is a precinct identity created by the Metro Tunnel Project, aimed at supporting the residents and businesses impacted by construction of the new Town Hall Station.

The heart of Melbourne’s original rag trade and now home to thriving coffee and dining culture, bars and restaurants, the Flinders Quarter is quintessentially Melbourne.

Stretching from Swanston Street to Elizabeth Street, and Flinders Street to Collins Street, the Flinders Quarter is home to iconic Melbourne landmarks such as Degraves Street and the Nicholas Building.

Flinders Quarter has hosted a number of activations, including the annual Festival of Independents and the Augmented Art Walk.

You can find more information on the Flinders Quarter website, and via its Facebook and Instagram pages.
