About West Melbourne

West Melbourne is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is in the Local Government Area of the City of Melbourne.

West Melbourne is bounded by Victoria Street and the Footscray Rail line in the North, Footscray Road and the Moonee Ponds Creek and the Yarra River in the south. Peel Street and the Flagstaff Gardens help form the Eastern Boundary, with the Western Boundary defined by the Maribyrnong River and Coode Island. Coode Island is home to Victoria's largest toxic chemical storage facility and on August 21, 1991 massive explosions caused a highly hazardous situation.

Damage to the facility and clean-up costs were estimated at over $20m in 1991 values.
