We also provide seamless coverage for multi-city projects, with teams ready in Sydney and Brisbane.

Producer’s Note:

Navigating the bustling CBD and Melbourne's infamous 'four seasons in one day' means our local crews always carry versatile weather-protection gear for outdoor B-roll. For major corporate summits at the MCEC, we deploy specialized directional microphones to isolate your keynotes from the massive, echoing exhibition halls.

Filming in Melbourne

What to know before you shoot in Melbourne

Filming permits and public-space rules

Victoria is unusual in having a statewide law about how public agencies treat film crews. The Filming Approval Act 2014 sets eight film friendly principles, covering approvals, timeliness, reasons for refusal, a single point of contact, standard forms, fees, accessible information and staff training. VicScreen's handbook for public agencies explains them. It does not remove the need for a permit, but it does mean you can expect one named contact and a standard process when you deal with a Victorian council or agency.

In the city itself, the national business licence register's entry for the City of Melbourne says a permit is needed for commercial filming or photography in a public place. Low-impact shoots are defined as six or fewer people, one camera and tripod, and handheld sound gear, with no blocked pathways or roads. Medium and high-impact shoots need more documents, including a risk assessment, site plans and proof of public liability insurance, plus traffic or pedestrian management plans where relevant.

Processing is quoted at five working days, or seven if traffic management is involved, so a crew of six on a CBD footpath can often be planned at reasonably short notice, while anything touching traffic takes longer. The council's fee structure is built from an application fee, a base fee and a charge based on duration, and the listed amounts are revised over time, so confirm these and the application route with the council's filming team.

Council boundaries matter here. The City of Melbourne is only one of several councils around the centre, and neighbouring areas such as Port Phillip and Yarra run their own filming permits. A shoot that moves from the CBD to an office across the boundary may need a second conversation. State-managed land follows its own route too, with the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action publishing its own permit rules for the land it manages.

Drone rules

The national regulator, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), sets the flying rules in Victoria as everywhere else in Australia. Its weight categories decide the paperwork. For business use at 2kg or less, an operator can fly without a remote pilot licence (RePL) or operator's certificate (ReOC), but needs an aviation reference number and operator accreditation, must register the drone and has to stay within the standard operating conditions.

Those conditions rarely suit a busy South Wharf or CBD setting. CASA's safety rules set limits including a 120m ceiling, at least 30m from other people, never over a person, and no flying over populous areas such as events. CASA notes that licensed pilots have added privileges such as flying closer than 30m to people, so a city-centre aerial is likely to need a licensed pilot working for a ReOC holder. When hiring, ask to see the licence, the drone registration and any CASA flight approval, and check the insurance covers the work.

On public land, permits come next. VicScreen's handbook lists drones as a particular concern for land managers, because of the difficulty of ensuring safety and privacy on the ground, and points to CASA for current advice. The City of Melbourne's register entry adds that Victoria Police may need to be notified for shoots involving drones. Next door, Yarra says it only considers drone applications that show a 30m exclusion zone from people not involved in filming. Raise any drone plan at the start of your filming application rather than adding it later.

The business event calendar and districts

The Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) at South Wharf hosts large business events, including conferences for the accounting and superannuation sectors. Dates below are from organisers and may be updated.

Do not assume a show always lives in the same state. Land Forces, the land defence exposition, was in Perth in 2026 and its site reports the 2030 edition going to Queensland. Some national shows move around, so confirm the host city for the year you are planning.

  • CPA Congress, CPA Australia's flagship professional development event: held 20-22 October 2026 at MCEC.
  • ASFA Conference, for the superannuation sector: 17-19 November 2026 at MCEC.

Practical logistics

MCEC effectively has two front doors, and sending crew to the wrong one wastes time. The venue says the Exhibition Centre is reached from Clarendon Street, while the Convention Centre is reached from Convention Centre Place, between Pan Pacific Melbourne and DFO South Wharf. Check which building your session or stand is in.

Trams are the simplest route with a light kit. Routes 96, 109 and 12 stop right outside the Clarendon Street entrance, and routes 70, 75 and the City Circle stop about a 5-minute walk away at Spencer and Flinders Streets. MCEC notes that routes 96 and 109 are usually low-floor, which helps with a wheeled case, and that tramTRACKER shows whether the next tram is. Taxi ranks and rideshare points are just outside Convention Centre Place.

The venue's public visitor page does not cover loading docks, so ask the organiser or MCEC about access well before a heavy load-in, and get the agreed time in writing.

For anything planned outdoors, including a riverside interview, build a covered alternative and a spare time slot into your schedule, and ask the council how a change of date would affect your permit before you apply. It is much easier to agree this at application stage than to request a change once the permit has been issued.

  1. 01

    Footage Log

    Every clip from the shoot, organised and labelled, with the whole log searchable - and every clip transcribed, so you can find the moment someone said the thing by typing what they said. No scrubbing through hours of rushes.

    Shoot Status

    One page per shoot showing exactly where things stand: crew confirmed, brief signed off, kit list, call time, payment status. You never have to email to ask what is happening.
