Melbourne Motor Shows.

The main indoor exhibition venue in Melbourne is the Melbourne Exhibition Centre, 2 Clarendon St, Southbank, Victoria 3006.

This was opened in 1996 to replace the Royal Exhibition Building which is being redeveloped to house the state museum. The new centre is in the midst of the revitalised Southbank area, near to the Victorian Arts Centre, the Crown Casino and the Polly Woodside maritime museum.

The first event at the new Exhibition Centre was the 1996 Melbourne International Motor Show (1-11 March 1996) which was timed to coincide with the first staging of the Australian Formula One Grand-Prix at Albert Park, Melbourne, after its move from Adelaide South Australia.

Other major Motoring and Four Wheel Drive shows in Melbourne include

• the National 4x4 Show October,
• Melbourne Off-Road 4 Wheel Drive Recreation Show organized by IBExhibitions and
• the Victorian Four Wheel Drive Show held by the LROC at Wandin.
