Bag rules and storage at Melbourne Convention Centre

Plenty of visitors arrive at Melbourne Convention Centre with a bag that won't be allowed past the door, or with hours to kill before a train out of the city.

Southern Cross Station has self-service lockers nearby, while the convention centre itself offers no storage of its own, so sorting out a spot ahead of time is the best option. If you're also catching a game at Marvel Stadium, its free cloakroom is another useful option. The venue's South Wharf setting puts waterfront walks and riverside dining right outside the doors. Small bags and plastic-bottled non-alcoholic drinks are allowed inside, so you won't need to stash all your everyday items. Any alcohol you bring from outside is prohibited on the premises under Victorian law. With Stasher, you can store bags from A$2.99 per bag per day at 20+ locations near Melbourne Convention Centre.
