About the project

To preserve, acknowledge and celebrate Stonnington’s unique LGBTIQA+ history and cultural experience, we are seeking input from LGBTIQA+ community members about places of pride and significance within Stonnington.

The City of Stonnington has a proud history and strong commitment to inclusion, equality and pride in the diversity of LGBTIQA+ people, families and communities.

Stonnington is understood to have one of the largest LGBTIQA+ communities in Victoria, including supporters and allies who help progress equality and fairness for all. Many of the community services, groups and organisations that support and service LGBTIQA+ people, families and communities are also located within or close to Stonnington.

We reached out to the community in May - June 2025 asking for submissions of locations of significance for LGBTIQA+ communities. We appreciate your submissions and have collated a map of significant places.

How you can get involved

We are excited to share that City of Stonnington are collaborating with Queer-ways to create an audio tour featuring the significant locations identified.

We are now asking for community members to share stories specific to the places on our map so we can incorporate community stories into the audio tour. We hope that the map may recall memories or experiences of these significant locations.
