City Square

The City Square is a public plaza located in the Central Business District (CBD) of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The site is bounded by Swanston Street, Collins Street, Flinders Lane and the Westin Hotel. The historic landmarks of Melbourne Town Hall and St Paul’s Cathedral are located across the

streets to the north and south respectively. The square has been redeveloped several times and has been associated with some controversies over the years. It closed on 3 April 2017 in preparation for the construction of Town Hall station as part of the Metro Tunnel project and was demolished later that year. The square was restored following the completion of the Metro Tunnel, reopening on 30 November 2025.
