Place Week Melbourne
Place Week is a week‐long series of activities that support and celebrate the work of those seeking to transform our public spaces into places where communities can come together.
From the 20th to the 26th of May, the Place Agency Consortium in Victoria, has come together to entice you with a series of events including a range of walking tours, design exhibitions, talks and workshops that will take place across Melbourne to build awareness and capacity for placemaking, while showcasing activities happening in our community.
