Getting to Docklands Stadium

Docklands Stadium is next to Southern Cross Station, close to Melbourne city centre and the Docklands waterfront. Metropolitan and regional trains, along with regional and airport coaches, connect through Southern Cross. Trams also serve La Trobe Street, Harbour Esplanade and nearby city streets. Check your journey in advance, as some train routes require a change to reach Southern Cross.

The Bourke Street pedestrian bridge connects Southern Cross Station to the Stadium. Walking from the city centre or Docklands may also suit your plans.

For those planning to cycle, bike racks are available close to the Stadium.

Ferries berth at Docklands near the Stadium; check Port Phillip Ferries for routes and sailing times, including whether a return sailing suits your event.

We recommend public transport, cycling or walking wherever possible. If you’re considering a rideshare, taxi or a lift, event-specific pick-up and drop-off arrangements are still being worked through. Please check the updated guidance before making your plans.
