We’ve turned 50 (editions, that is!)

The July 2025 edition of North West City News is our 50th issue, and we couldn’t have done it without our amazing communities in North Melbourne, West Melbourne, Kensington and Parkville Gardens.

Since our first edition in February 2021, during the COVID pandemic, we've worked hard to establish this valuable community service as the region's only dedicated local news source.

To celebrate, we’re inviting readers to help us showcase what makes our part of north west-city Melbourne so special.

We’ve teamed up with the North & West Melbourne Precinct Association to offer one lucky reader a $200 gift card to the precinct, which can be redeemed at various businesses throughout North and West Melbourne.

How to enter:

Simply submit a photo you’ve taken in your community of either North Melbourne, West Melbourne, Kensington and Parkville Gardens.

It could be a building, a bite, a busker or a back street – anything that feels iconic to the entrant's community.

The winner won’t be judged on photo quality alone, but on how well the image captures the character of their suburb.

Send your entry to [email protected].

Entries close at 5pm on August 12. The winning photo will be announced and published in our August edition.

Thanks for being part of the journey and helping keep local news in your community alive – here's to the next 50! •
