Melbournepedia publishes practical information about Melbourne and Victoria, including attractions, events, food and drink, transport, travel planning, tours, and things to do.

Our goal is to provide clear, useful information that helps readers make informed decisions when planning their time in Melbourne.

How We Create Content

Melbournepedia content may be based on a combination of:

  • First-hand experience and local knowledge
  • Official government and transport information
  • Attraction, venue, event and operator websites
  • Publicly available schedules, pricing and visitor information
  • Direct research and verification
  • Relevant industry and tourism sources

Where possible, important factual information such as dates, prices, opening hours, transport information and booking conditions is checked against primary or official sources.

We aim to add practical context rather than simply reproduce information available elsewhere.

Accuracy

We take reasonable steps to ensure that information published on Melbournepedia is accurate at the time of publication or review.

Melbourne changes frequently. Event dates, ticket prices, opening hours, transport fares, venue policies and other details can change without notice.

Readers should confirm time-sensitive information with the relevant venue, operator or official source before making travel or purchasing decisions.

Content Updates

Existing articles are reviewed and updated when information becomes outdated or when significant changes occur.

Updates may include:

  • New prices or operating hours
  • Changed event dates
  • Updated transport information
  • Venue closures or openings
  • Changes to booking procedures
  • New practical information
  • Corrections to previously published information

Where appropriate, articles display a “Last updated” date.

Editorial Independence

Editorial decisions are made independently.

The presence of an affiliate relationship, advertiser, ticket provider or commercial partner does not determine whether a business, attraction, event or service receives positive coverage.

We do not guarantee favourable editorial coverage in exchange for payment, products, services or commercial relationships.

Affiliate Links

Some Melbournepedia pages contain affiliate links.

If a reader follows an affiliate link and completes a purchase, Melbournepedia may receive a commission. This normally does not increase the price paid by the reader.

Affiliate relationships help support the operation of the website, but they do not change our commitment to presenting useful and accurate information.

Where relevant, affiliate relationships are disclosed to readers.

Sponsored Content

If Melbournepedia publishes sponsored or paid content, it will be clearly identified as sponsored, advertising, paid content or a similar disclosure.

Sponsored arrangements do not permit advertisers to make misleading claims or override our editorial standards.

Reviews and Recommendations

Recommendations are based on factors that may include usefulness, visitor experience, location, accessibility, value, popularity, suitability for different audiences and available information.

Not every business, venue, attraction or activity is reviewed or included.

A listing or recommendation should not be interpreted as a guarantee of quality, availability or suitability for every reader.

Sources

We prefer primary and authoritative sources for factual information wherever practical.

These may include:

  • Victorian Government websites
  • Local councils
  • Public Transport Victoria
  • Transport operators
  • Official event organisers
  • Venue and attraction websites
  • Tourism organisations
  • Direct information supplied by relevant organisations

External sources may change after an article has been published.

Corrections

We want incorrect information corrected promptly.

If you identify a factual error, outdated detail or other issue in a Melbournepedia article, please contact us through our Contact page and include the URL of the relevant page and details of the correction.

We will review reasonable correction requests and update the page where appropriate.

User-Submitted Information

Melbournepedia may accept event submissions, corrections, suggestions or other information from readers and organisations.

Submission does not guarantee publication.

Submitted information may be edited, verified, declined or removed at our discretion.

Artificial Intelligence

Technology and automated tools may be used to assist with research, editing, formatting, data processing or website operations.

Published content remains subject to editorial review. We do not intentionally publish unverified automated output as factual information.

This editorial policy may be updated as Melbournepedia’s publishing practices change.

Material changes will be reflected on this page.
