Metropolitan Melbourne's lockdown rules state residents must shop and exercise within five kilometres of their home but they can travel outside that radius if shops are not close by.

With only five reasons to leave home, including to access a COVID-19 vaccine, the movement has become very limited to suppress the spread of the virus. 

People can venture beyond the five-kilometre limit for a vaccine shot but otherwise, the rules remain strict and more extensive travel will be off-limits until at least 11.59 pm on 2 September at this stage. 

But where exactly is the 5km cut-off from your home? 

Enter your address into our interactive map below to see what that covers.

Metropolitan Melbourne includes 31 local government areas: Banyule, Hume, Moreland, Bayside, Kingston, Mornington Peninsula, Boroondara, Knox, Nillumbik, Brimbank, Manningham, Port Phillip, Cardinia, Maribyrnong, Stonnington, Casey, Maroondah, Whitehorse, Darebin, Melbourne, Whittlesea, Frankston, Melton, Wyndham, Glen Eira, Monash, Yarra, Greater Dandenong, Moonee Valley, Yarra Ranges and Hobsons Bay.
