It runs north from Flinders Lane to Collins Street, between Elizabeth Street and Swanston Street. The laneway is famous for its vibrant bars, cafes, restaurants and boutiques. It also features some of Melbourne's most well-known examples of street art and graffiti and the precinct has been used in tourism campaigns for the city.[1] LocationLocated within the original Hoddle Grid on which Melbourne's streets were designed, Centre Place has become an important thoroughfare for pedestrians. From Flinders Street Station it is common to travel through the underground Campbell Arcade to Degraves Street, and then via Centre Place to the Centreway Arcade to reach Collins Street. This forms a partially undercover route through art spaces, cafés, shops and iconic laneways. The lane hooks sharply left midway to Collins Street, making the road undesirable for vehicles, hence its status and use as a pedestrian precinct. The laneway is overlooked by numerous residences and their balconies.[2] HistoryOriginally called Cummings Alley, the street wound around warehouses in the 1890s and the western portion was lined with urinals. By 1915 Cummings Alley had been joined to Collins Street via Centreway Arcade and was renamed Centre Court.[3] Centre Place became one of the 'first generation of revitalised laneways' in the 1980s. Council and State Governments at this time recognised the importance of preserving and revitalising the laneways of Melbourne. They worked to attract new boutique shops and cafés with street exposure.[4] The revitalised lane subsequently became popular with shoppers. Nearby retailers and businesses have also embraced the precinct, with the office and retail building at 271 Collins Street cutting an access point through to Centre Place in their building, highlighting its importance and desirability.[5] See also{{portal-inline|Australian Roads}}References1. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.piecesofvictoria.com/2015/12/melbourne-invites-the-world-to-play/|title=Melbourne invites the world to play|date=2015-12-03|newspaper=Pieces of Victoria|language=en-US|access-date=2017-01-19}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.melbourne.com.au/centre.htm|title=Centre Place Arcade : Melbourne : Australia|last=Online|first=Melbourne|website=www.melbourne.com.au|access-date=2017-01-19}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.emelbourne.net.au/biogs/EM01734b.htm|title=Centre Place - Entry - eMelbourne - The Encyclopedia of Melbourne Online|last=Melbourne|first=School of Historical Studies, Department of History, The University of|website=www.emelbourne.net.au|language=en-gb|access-date=2017-01-19}} 4. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.smh.com.au/small-business/life-thrives-in-the-laneways-20090619-cqdb.html|title=Life thrives in the laneways|last=Vedelago|first=Chris|newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald|language=en-US|access-date=2017-01-19}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=http://271collins.com.au/about/|title=271 Collins Street {{!}} About|website=271collins.com.au|language=en|access-date=2017-01-19}} External links{{commons category-inline|Centre Place, Melbourne}}{{Melbourne CBD Streets}}{{melbourne-geo-stub}} 3 : Melbourne City Centre|Streets in Melbourne|Pedestrian malls in Australia |
