Melbourne Place is a U-shaped lane located off Russell Street. The first date of commercial occupation in the place is 1839. In 1892, H.W. Mills & Co. ran their printing and lithographing business from Melbourne Place. In 1910, the Worker Newspaper Trustees were located in the place, as were in the 1920s the radio stations 3LO and 3AR. By 1961, the Kelvin Club was also listed in the place.
