Where factories and warehouses once pounded to the noise of industry, they’re now buzzing with diners, music-lovers and shoppers. This vivid change in use and deep seeded heritage has provided the perfect social and architectural background for new businesses in a neighbourhood setting.
Over the past decade, West and North Melbourne have transformed from a rugged industrial area into an emerging cultural precinct, peppered with independent shops, cafes and restaurants. Locals delight in discovering hidden retail treasures which contribute to the distinctive character of this revitalised corner of Melbourne, on the doorstep of the city.
Volaire’s location stands out for its connectivity. The entrance to the busy North Melbourne station is right on the doorstep, with the City Loop, Docklands and Southern Cross Station – Victoria’s principal transport hub –just one stop away.
Melbourne’s inner-northwest is home to Australia’s top health and educational institutions including Melbourne University. This, among other world-renowned institutions, is just an easy tram, bus or train ride from Volaire.
Whatever your tastes, the inner-northwest cooks up a smorgasbord of dining options, from the great Aussie pub meal to international street food, exotic treats and the finest gourmet cuisine.
Just one train stop away; Etihad Stadium is home to national and international sporting competitions as well as concerts and events, while Royal Park’s grassy expanse hosts an array of local sport and fitness activities.
