Residents 3000 is an association of residents in the Central Business District (CBD) of Melbourne, the capital City of Victoria, Australia. Our name comes from our postcode – 3000.
Melbourne has a large resident population – and it’s growing. We live in a vibrant and active city, many of us in “vertical streets” or high rise buildings.For those of us who have lived in the suburbs perhaps, this is quite different. However, everything we could possibly need is close at hand.Our CBD is a centre for the arts, commerce, education, entertainment, sport and tourism.Right here at our doorstep! We have also been referred to as the “cultural capital” of Australia and one of the “most liveable”.The first federal parliament of Australia was convened here in our city’s heart, at the now UNESCO World Heritage listed Royal Exhibition Building and the beautiful Carlton Gardens that showcase this site. And for relaxation, we have many bars, shops, lane way culture and other entertainments. Life in the CBD can never be dull!
Newcomers find they soon know more people than they ever might have in the suburbs. Why? We walk in the City, and pass friends and neighbours every day. Some of us are city workers.Very convenient.Some are retired. And some are students, from here or overseas.We are a community.
Working together for life in our City!
Residents 3000 Inc was set up in 1993 when the City Council began a campaign to encourage people to live in the City – the “ Postcode 3000”campaign. We wanted to represent residents in relation to the Council, the State Government and others, such as developers and businesses, who have an impact on our lives.We also wanted to connect with each other and meet to discuss concerns, issues or just have social exchange.
We best describe ourselves as “a community association to promote the wellbeing, amenity and environment of CBD residents…”. We communicate with each other and the broader community mostly through this website which is “our voice”. Please keep in touch and give us your own views and opinions.
The City Council’s slogan is that the City should be “vibrant, international and liveable” – we agree.
Indeed the Council quickly took up the opportunity to talk to us about our experience of life in the city – and how to make it an even more exciting and satisfying place to live.
