Car/Motorbike

Due to limited parking around the hub, we strongly recommend you to organise carpool, bike or use the public transport. If driving, there is limited free 90 degree parking along North Wharf Road coming from Bourke St or Collins St in Docklands. Alternative there is street metered parking. Please ensure you check any signs, and take note of how long you can stay parked. All day car parking at the Woolworths Car Park near by ($10 for day).

Tram 

You can catch any of the Number 11 and 48 trams that go to Victoria Harbour. Hop off at the last stop (D18 Victoria Harbour), and follow the road ahead to the Boat Hub. The walk from the tram stop is about 5 minutes.

 Walk (from Southern Cross Station)

Once you hit the end of the tram line, the Community Hub at the Dock is a short walk ahead (next to the library). This walk is approximately 20-30 minutes long.

Bourke St end

If you have exited Southern Cross Station from the Bourke St end, you will find yourself on top of the concourse to Marvel Stadium. Head towards the new Channel 9 or NAB buildings towards Etihad Stadium. As you walk past Marvel Stadium, walk towards the YMCA, and head down the undercover stairs and continue straight to Bourke St. Walk along Bourke St, and keep heading straight down along the street. At the end of Bourke St there is a tram stop. Turn right and continue the boat hub. This walk is approximately 20-30 minutes long.
