ADDRESS: Coates Community Arts, Suite 6, Level 4, 20 Collins Street, Naarm / Melbourne 3000 (Coates Building).

PUBLIC TRANSPORT: The Coates Building is directly opposite the Sofitel Hotel. If travelling by train, we are 140 metres from Parliament Train Station (2 minute walk). If you are taking the tram, numbers 11, 12, 48 and 109 are at the door. Jump off at Tram Stop #8 Spring Street/Collins Street which is in Melbourne’s free tram zone.

PARKING: There’s paid street parking on Collins, Little Collins, and Exhibition Streets. For free street parking, we recommend the streets bordering Fitzroy Gardens, near the Ear and Eye Hospital and the Park Hyatt. Parking is free in this area from 6:30pm. It’ll take you 5 minutes to walk from here.

UPON ARRIVAL: To find us, enter the left-side glass door at 20 Collins Street, take the lift to level 4 and walk to your left, we’re in Suite 6, at the end of the hall. The sign on the window says ‘The Federation of Chinese Associations’.

ACCESSIBILITY INFORMATION: Unfortunately, the Coates Building is not accessible to the entire community. The entrance is a glass door that opens outwards (towards the street) and is manually operated. The glass door is 70cm wide, unsuitable for most wheelchair users. The building has no accessible toilets. We have made repeated requests to the building’s management to make these improvements.
