Have your say before take-off ✈️

Melbourne Airport is building a third runway that will change how aircraft noise is experienced by areas near flight paths.

The draft Noise Sharing Plan outlines how this could be spread more fairly across communities once construction is complete.

A new chapter for City Library 📚

Over the next couple of years, City Library will move into a larger, more modern home in the heritage-listed former Commonwealth Bank building on Bourke Street.

The move is part of a long-term plan to make better use of Council buildings, opening up more of these spaces for our community to access and enjoy.

Dolly Parton gave the world the keys to her heart through her songwriting, signature style and philanthropy – touching millions across the globe.

Giving her the Keys to the City was the least we could do, and in 1987, Melbourne did just that.

Dolly's values of creativity and community are ones Melbourne shares.

We are a city known for our love of music, and we embrace the songwriting legacy she leaves behind.

As a UNESCO City of Literature, we'll keep spreading the joy and importance of reading to the next generation.

And as the inventors of the 8-hour day, we'll be Workin' 9 to 5 in your honour.

Thanks for the music, Dolly. We will always love you.

What if going out meant getting lost in a book? 📖

Book Doof is a simple concept: arrive with a book, find a seat and spend the next few hours reading alongside strangers – no need for a doof stick.

This event was part of Library Up Late for Now or Never, where State Library Victoria was transformed with music, art and innovation.

Burke and Wills return to public view 🙌

Crafted from granite and bronze, standing 8 metres tall and weighing 8 tonnes, the famous depiction of the ill-fated explorers has been relocated several times across Melbourne throughout its 160-year history.

Created by sculptor Charles Summers and unveiled in 1865 at a cost of £4,000, equivalent to more than $1.2 million today, the monument was originally installed on the corner of Collins and Russell streets.

Since then, it has journeyed across the city and become an undeniable part of Melbourne's history and streetscape.

Returning to the spotlight after almost 10 years in storage, the monument's new location will include additional signage that shares often-overlooked aspects of the Burke and Wills story – including the support provided by the Yandruwandha people to John King, the expedition's sole survivor.

Celebrating 50 years of Melbourne’s legendary Chinatown archways 🏮

These much-loved landmarks have been a symbol of pride for Melbourne’s Chinese community for half a century – right in the heart of the oldest continuous Chinatown in the southern hemisphere.

Known as paifang or pailou, the gateways traditionally mark entrances to significant places and feature markings to bless visitors.
