Loophole is a collectively run, autonomous community centre in Melbourne. It started from the premise that WE are the people who know best how to direct our lives. It is a shared space where we can exchange skills, resources and knowledge, and where we can find inspiration and support as we develop our ideas, our projects and ourselves.

Loophole runs on a not-for-profit basis. It is a space where we hope people’s skills and interests can be appreciated and developed. Everything at Loophole is provided by donation and by the support of people who volunteer their energy and their time.

We hope that at Loophole we can learn collectively how to minimise our negative impact on people and the environment.

We want Loophole to be open, inclusive, inspiring, imperfect and fluid. We are into the do-it-yourself ethic; there are many projects going on at loophole you can get involved with, or you can use the space to develop your own project.

We ask that you treat the space and the people in it with respect. We have some guidelines we use to hopefully make the space safer and more inclusive for as many people as possible. We hope everyone who shares our values and principles can feel part of the loophole community.

You can find us in person at 670 High St in Thornbury or explore the website more to find out more about the space and projects going on.
