Welcome to the Djerring Flemington Hub

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 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.

Nearby Council facilities

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.

Parks and recreational areas

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.

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.
