Open House Melbourne Weekend
A generous city gives more than it takes. It welcomes participation, opens doors and minds and creates space for everyone to belong. A generous city shares what it has: welcoming public places, buildings that invite participation and infrastructure designed with empathy and equity in mind. It shares knowledge, celebrates diversity and helps us see the city differently.
Across 24–26 July, Generous City invites us explore how we can design a more open, equitable and compassionate city that gives back, looks after one another and makes space for everyone.

Open House Latrobe
Save the date! Open House is heading to Latrobe (9–11 October) to showcase it’s unique architecture, industry and cultural identity.
Open House Latrobe is a design festival showcasing Latrobe’s unique architecture, industry and cultural identity, engaging locals and visitors alike.
Through walking/building tours, talks and a symposium, the festival program will open doors to significant buildings, infrastructure and landscapes across Traralgon, Morwell, Moe and beyond. From industrial heritage sites and energy transition projects to cultural institutions, civic spaces and natural environments, the festival will give the visitors from near and far an opportunity to experience first-hand, how design shapes the region’s past, present and future.

Good Design Matters
At the end of last year, Open House Melbourne was advised that our four-year Creative Enterprises Program funding would be reduced to two years, with no option to extend. After 2027, we face a funding cliff.
For tens of thousands of Victorians, Open House Melbourne is the entry point to good design. We show you how well-designed buildings, streets, landscapes and public places shape daily life, strengthen community and create places people love. This work matters. For almost 20 years, we have helped build informed, engaged communities that can imagine and advocate for, a better future for our cities, towns and neighbourhoods.
We are calling on the State Government to commit to long-term, stable investment in Open House Melbourne.
