In partnership with the Victorian Government, Yarra City Council is activating a vacant former bank in Victoria Street for a community project known as the Learning Bank.
The Learning Bank is a new community space located in Victoria Street, Richmond, for residents and businesses to connect, create and learn.
For more information on the venue facilities and how to book, please visit our Learning Bank venue page.
From Friday 3rd May The Learning Bank's opening hours will change. We will be open Monday-Thursday (9am-5pm) and Friday (by prior appointment only). Key collection will only be available Monday to Thursday.
Bookings
The Learning Bank is a bookable learning space that hosts programs to support business and community needs.
We have a spacious open-plan room called the Training Area, and two small meeting rooms, Wattle and Lotus, which are suitable for meetings, interviews or study for up to 6 people.
Please note, this is not a private room. This is a shared space with several programs and staff during business hours. If you require staff to work-off site during your booking, please advise the Learning Bank team.

Volunteers play a vital role in adding capacity to our programs, ensuring that we can reach and support as many people as possible.
