Melbourne’s Federation Square is a major feature of the
Melbourne skyline and a civic hub. It was built to serve the city as a central
focal point and to provide a screen, both protecting and concealing the active
railway lines that run through its heart.
Adjacent to Flinders Street Station on a 3.6 hectare block,
built above the Jolimont railway lines, the Square has become the city’s
meeting place. It encompasses major cultural attractions, world-class events,
tourism experiences and an exceptional array of restaurants, bars, specialty
stores and a modern piazza – capable of accommodating 15,000 people.
