Explore Collingwood, Victoria, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Collingwood, VIC map and move it around to re-centre it. You can change between standard map view and satellite map view by clicking the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. You can use the zoom buttons on the lower right side of the map to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets — plus a labelled MGA grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Collingwood, Victoria, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Geoscience Australia National Base Map — seamless topographic mapping covering the mainland, Tasmania and the external territories. NATMAP 250K shows the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 map sheets, mosaicked nationwide — the printed sheets generations of Australians navigated the outback with. The search box finds any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Collingwood.
Reading the map like a paper sheet. Click Grid to overlay the Map Grid of Australia (MGA), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as an MGA grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what emergency services and search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load, which across much of inland Australia is most of the time.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Collingwood hums with a restless energy, a district that breathes the vigour of its proximity to the Yarra River and the bustling heart of Melbourne. It lies 2.6 km north-north-west of Richmond, VIC (from Richmond, VIC: bearing 332°T), and is situated 3.0 km north-north-east of Melbourne. Its streets, a labyrinth of terraces and laneways, are etched with the passage of countless footsteps, a vibrant thrumming that rises from the pavement and mingles with the distant clang of trams. The air here carries a unique scent, a blend of roasted coffee beans, the exhaust of passing vehicles, and the faint, ever-present tang of the nearby harbour. Buildings, a fascinating mosaic of old brick and gleaming glass, stand shoulder to shoulder, telling tales of transformation, each facade a silent witness to the district's enduring evolution. The light, especially in the late afternoon, falls with a particular softness, casting long, stretched shadows that lend a theatrical depth to the urban landscape, illuminating the graffiti art that splashes colour across unexpected corners.
Originally a place of industry and working-class endeavour, Collingwood’s story is deeply intertwined with the ebb and flow of Melbourne’s economic tides. Its foundations were laid by those who sought to build a life through hard graft, establishing factories and workshops that once echoed with the rhythmic pulse of machinery. This heritage is still palpable, a ghost in the repurposed warehouses that now house galleries, breweries, and independent boutiques, a testament to the district's capacity for reinvention. The local economy, once dominated by manufacturing, has blossomed into a diverse ecosystem of creative enterprises and hospitality, drawing a steady stream of visitors and residents alike. Collingwood's character, forged in the crucible of its industrial past and tempered by its embrace of the new, is one of defiant individuality and a persistent, forward-looking spirit.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Collingwood, Victoria. Live weather conditions with current observations and a 7-day forecast are powered by Open-Meteo. Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Collingwood, in the Yarra City local government area.

These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Australian city, town or locality.
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name; offers Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets as base layers; overlays a labelled Map Grid of Australia (MGA) so the map can be read like a printed topographic sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as an MGA grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from Geoscape Administrative Boundaries (GDA2020) and enriched with GeoNames and Australian Bureau of Statistics data, matched by coordinate proximity — ensuring the correct Collingwood is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
