Acknowledgement of Country
Moonee Valley City Council respectfully acknowledges the traditional custodians of this land – the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people of the Kulin Nation – and their spirits, ancestors, elders and community members past and present.
Welcome to the
Djerring Flemington Hub
Djerring Flemington Hub is a new heart for the community and provides a centre that brings users together from diverse and multi-generational backgrounds.
The Djerring Flemington Hub (the Hub) is a vibrant, welcoming and flexible centre, with activity and program rooms, family facilities, creative spaces, consulting rooms and sports change room and recreational facilities – as well as plenty of spaces to sit, meet friends and relax.
The Hub replaces Flemington Community Centre, a much-loved facility which served the local community for over 60 years. Due to deterioration of the original building, the Community Centre was demolished in 2021.
The new Hub will provide a meeting, learning and recreation space that will meet the needs of the community for many years to come. For prospective users from the private sector, government, non-profits and learning institutions, the Hub offers outstanding accessibility, modular spaces and digital functionality a short distance from Melbourne’s CBD.
The Hub lies on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Peoples of the Kulin Nation, who have lived and met in the greater area for generations. In Woi wurrung language, Djerring (pronounced: jerr-ring) means ‘together’. The Djerring Flemington Hub name was selected by a public vote in 2022.

The Flemington area
Flemington is an inner-city suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, five kilometres from Melbourne CBD and bordered by the Maribyrnong River and Moonee Ponds Creek. The Djerring Flemington Hub is located on Mount Alexander Road in Debneys Park, a popular public park with frontage to the Moonee Ponds Creek, Debney Meadows Primary School and the Flemington Housing Estate. As part of the Debneys Park Precinct redevelopment, the sports field and tennis courts have been renewed and new facilities have been provided, including two outdoor basketball courts and three lane cricket nets.
Flemington is a growing and diverse community on the edge of Melbourne’s inner west, rich with Wurundjeri and post-settlement histories. The Hub is walking distance to Flemington’s Racecourse Road commercial and entertainment strip on which offers a large range of dining options and services.
Riverside Golf and Sports Centre in nearby Ascot Vale is located on the banks of the Maribyrnong River and offers a nine-hole golf range and tennis and netball courts.
Ascot Vale Leisure Centre is also nearby and features a gym, 25-metre indoor pool, aqua play features, warm water pool, spa, sauna and steam facilities.
Flemington Library offers a nearby quiet space with a range of study, entertainment and digital access services.
There are several parks and recreational areas close to the Hub that are easily accessible for users for rest, exercise or informal outdoor activities.
The Hub sits next to Debneys Park, which features open space, an adventure playground and the adjacent Flemington Community Garden.
The Moonee Ponds Creek Trail extends northward from outside the Hub into several linear reserves including Delhi Reserve and Travancore Park.
The historic Royal Park with its range of native grasslands, wetlands, formal gardens and sporting fields is Melbourne’s largest open space and is located close to the Hub, with pedestrian footbridge access across the Citylink toll road. Melbourne Zoo is also located in Royal Park.

How to get into the hub
As part of Moonee Valley City Council’s MV2040 commitments to create 20-minute walking neighbourhoods and reduce our carbon footprint, we encourage users to travel to the Djerring Flemington Hub by public transport or other low-impact means.
Please note that parking is limited onsite to 60 spaces.
The Hub has excellent public transport access from Melbourne’s CBD. Flemington Bridge Station, a short walk from the Hub is 11 minutes by train from Flinders Street Station. Alternatively, the 59 tram delivers passengers from Flinders Street to the facility’s front door in 20 minutes.
Access to the Hub from elsewhere in Melbourne is well served by proximity to the Upfield rail line and tram services.
Flemington is well served by Melbourne’s bike trail and bike lane network. The Moonee Ponds Creek Trail connects to the Capital City Trail offers mostly traffic-free access from Melbourne CBD in 30 minutes. A more direct route via Flemington Road on well-marked bike lanes can take as little as 19 minutes. Bike trails are also suitable for walking and close to public transport options.
The Hub is a 20 minute drive from Melbourne Tullamarine Airport (30 minutes without toll road access) and 50 minutes from Avalon Airport.
Airport Skybus passengers can connect directly to the Upfield line at Southern Cross railway station for a 10-minute ride to Flemington Bridge Station, a short walk from the Hub.
