This WikiProject is a collaboration of project participants to create, expand, and organise articles relating to the city of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Our total progress at 30 March, 2011:
54%
Total progress in the Project is estimated from 1635 articles.
We need your help! If you are a Melburnian, or an expat, or you have some knowledge or insight about the city, you can:

Here are some WikiProject Melbourne articles which attract a high number of "page hits" but are only rated as Stub Class, or otherwise need additional citations or attention:
All users are welcome to help in editing or fixing any page on these lists. Please remember to take the appropriate tag(s) off the page when you have completed cleaning an article. Also, document what you have done, on the article's talk page, for the reference of other editors.
Similar to the Wikipedia:Australian Collaboration of the Fortnight, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.
A few Wikipedians have got together to make some suggestions about how we might organise data in articles about Melbourne. These are only suggestions, things to give you focus and to get you going, and you shouldn't feel obligated in the least to follow them. But if you don't know what to write or where to begin, following the below guidelines may be helpful. Mainly, we just want you to write articles!'
The areas covered by this project are listed below. Each area has its own page for the discussion and formulation of guidelines and conventions, as well as for listing examples of the best articles. If a page does not yet exist for a particular area, feel free to create it and propose how that part of the Project might be organised.
Note that progress and the number of articles is estimated and shown as a guide only.
In 1994 reforms and amalgamations to the Local Government structure in Victoria resulted in 210 councils being reduced to the current 79. This means that a number of present day councils areas having more than one Town Hall.
