The Victorian government has released regional Victoria from Melbourne's sixth lockdown, with those in the regions able to leave home for any reason and visit hospitality venues while metropolitan Melbourne remains locked down. But the term “metropolitan Melbourne” is a pretty broad term, what exactly does it cover?
According to the government, metropolitan Melbourne “is the geographical area that defines Melbourne as a city and the capital of the state of Victoria”. There are 4.9 million people that live in the 9,990 square kilometres that metro Melbourne covers.
Metropolitan Melbourne is divided into 31 local government areas (LGAs). Those LGAs are: Banyule, Hume, Moreland, Bayside, Kingston, Mornington Peninsula, Boroondara, Knox, Nillumbik, Brimbank, Manningham, Port Phillip, Cardinia, Maribyrnong, Stonnington, Casey, Maroondah, Whitehorse, Darebin, Melbourne, Whittlesea, Frankston, Melton, Wyndham, Glen Eira, Monash, Yarra, Greater Dandenong, Moonee Valley, Yarra Ranges and Hobsons Bay.
If you’re confused as to what LGA you fall under, head to this website where you can input your suburb or postcode and it will tell you.
