Melbourne meresmikan tugu publik pertamanya, patung [[ekspedisi Burke dan Wills|Burke dan Wills]], pada tahun 1864.
Dengan berakhirnya demam emas tahun 1860, Melbourne terus berkembang sebagai pelabuhan ekspor hasil tani Victoria (khususnya wol) dan sektor manufaktur yang dilindungi oleh tarif tinggi. Jaringan rel kereta api melingkar dibangun hingga pedesaan pada akhir 1850-an. Pembangunan gedung-gedung pemerintahan besar berlanjut pada 1860-an dan 1870-an, termasuk [[Supreme Court of Victoria|Supreme Court]], [[Government House, Melbourne|Government House]], dan [[Queen Victoria Market]]. Pusat kota mulai dijejali pertokoan dan perkantoran, bengkel, dan gudang. Beberapa bank dan hotel besar berdiri menghadap jalan raya utama. Puri-puri mewah berdiri di ujung timur Collins Street berdampingan dengan rumah-rumah kecil di belakangnya. Jumlah penduduk Aborigin terus menyusut, berkurang 80% pada tahun 1863, akibat wabah penyakit (khususnya [[cacar]]<ref name="rbg.vic.gov.au"/>), kekerasan di desa, dan perampasan tanah.

[[Berkas:Greater Melbourne Map 4 - May 2008.png|jmpl|Peta wilayah perkotaan Melbourne dan [[Geelong]]]]
Melbourne terletak di sebelah tenggara daratan utama Australia, tepatnya di negara bagian [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]]. Kota ini berdiri di atas pertemuan aliran lava [[Kuarter (kala)|Kuarter]] ke barat, [[batu lumpur]] [[Siluria]] ke timur, dan endapan pasir [[Holosen]] ke tenggara di sepanjang [[Port Phillip]]. Pinggiran kota tenggara berdiri di atas [[patahan Selwyn]] yang membelah [[Mount Martha, Victoria|Mount Martha]] dan [[Cranbourne, Victoria|Cranbourne]].
Melbourne menyebar mengikuti [[Sungai Yarra]] hingga [[Lembah Yarra]] dan [[Barisan Dandenong]] ke timur. Kota ini meluas ke utara melewati lembah semak berbukit di daerah aliran [[anak sungai]] Yarra—[[Moonee Ponds Creek]] (hingga Bandara Tullamarine), [[Merri Creek]], [[Darebin Creek]], dan [[Plenty River]]—sampai koridor kota pinggiran terluar [[Craigieburn, Victoria|Craigieburn]] dan [[Whittlesea, Victoria|Whittlesea]].
Kota ini menyebar ke tenggara melalui [[Dandenong, Victoria|Dandenong]] ke koridor kota [[Pakenham, Victoria|Pakenham]] sampai [[West Gippsland]], lalu ke selatan melalui lembah [[Dandenong Creek]], [[Mornington Peninsula]], dan kota [[Frankston, Victoria|Frankston]] yang mencakup perbukitan [[Olivers Hill, Victoria|Olivers Hill]], Mount Martha, dan [[Arthurs Seat, Victoria|Arthurs Seat]], menyusuri pesisir Port Phillip, dan membentuk satu [[konurbasi]] tunggal sampai kota pinggiran mewah [[Portsea, Victoria|Portsea]] dan [[Point Nepean]]. Di sebelah barat, kota ini meluas mengikuti aliran [[Sungai Maribyrnong]] dan anak-anak sungainya ke utara hingga [[Sunbury, Victoria|Sunbury]] dan kaki bukit [[Shire of Macedon Ranges|Barisan Macedon]], kemudian menutupi dataran vulkanik hingga [[Melton, Victoria|Melton]] di barat dan [[Werribee]] di kaki bukit pegunungan [[granit]] [[You Yangs]] di sebelah barat daya CBD. Sungai Little dan kota kecil Little River menjadi batas antara Melbourne dan Geelong.

[[Berkas:Brighton Beach, Melbourne 2003 (91593941).jpg|jmpl|kiri|[[Brighton, Victoria|Brighton Beach]] usai hujan badai musim gugur. Melbourne disebut-sebut mengalami "empat musim dalam sehari" karena cuacanya selalu berubah.]]
Melbourne memiliki [[iklim samudra]] sedang ([[klasifikasi iklim Köppen]] ''Cfb'') dengan musim panas hangat hingga panas dan musim dingin sejuk.<ref>{{cite book |last=Tapper|first=Andrew|last2=Tapper|first2=Nigel|title=The weather and climate of Australia and New Zealand|year=1996|publisher=Oxford University Press|location=Melbourne, Australia | isbn=0-19-553393-3 |edition=First|editor=Gray, Kathleen|page=300}}</ref><ref>{{cite book | last1 = Linacre | first1 = Edward | last2 = Geerts | first2= Bart | title = Climates and Weather Explained | publisher = Routledge | location = London | year = 1997 | page = 379 |url=https://books.google.com/?id=mkZa1KLHCAQC&lpg=PA379&pg=PA379#v=onepage&q= | isbn = 0-415-12519-7}}</ref> Melbourne dikenal karena [[southerly buster|kondisi cuacanya yang berubah-ubah]] karena terletak di perbatasan daratan panas dan perairan selatan yang dingin. Perbedaan suhu sangat mencolok sepanjang musim semi dan panas dan menciptakan [[batas udara dingin]]. Batas udara dingin menyebabkan berbagai macam cuaca ekstrem, mulai dari angin kencang sampai [[badai petir]] dan [[badai es]], penurunan suhu drastis, dan hujan sangat lebat. Musim dingin biasanya cukup stabil, tetapi agak lembap dan cenderung berawan.
Port Phillip biasanya lebih hangat daripada perairan dan/atau daratan sekitarnya, terutama pada saat musim semi dan gugur. Suhu ini menghasilkan "efek teluk" yang sama seperti "[[salju efek danau|efek danau]]" di iklim dingin, ketika hujan lebih lebat di [[atas angin dan bawah angin|bawah angin]] teluk. Hujan yang relatif lebat bisa turun di tempat yang sama dalam waktu yang lama (biasanya daerah pinggiran timur), sedangkan Melbourne dan daerah sekitarnya tetap kering. Berkat [[bayangan hujan]] di [[Barisan Otway]], seluruh Melbourne bisa dikatakan lebih kering daripada Victoria selatan pada umumnya. Di kota dan sekitarnya, curah hujan sangat bervariasi, mulai dari {{convert|425|mm|in|0}} di [[Little River, Victoria|Little River]] sampai {{convert|1250|mm|in|0}} di batas timur kota di [[Gembrook, Victoria|Gembrook]]. Cuaca cerah di Melbourne berlangsung selama 48,6 hari setiap tahun. Suhu embun saat musim panas berkisar antara {{convert|9.5|C|F}} hingga {{convert|11.7|C|F}}.<ref name="Bureau">{{BoM Aust stats|site_ref=cw_086071|site_name=Melbourne Regional Office|accessdate=30 October 2016}}</ref>
Melbourne juga rawan mengalami hujan konvektif terbatas yang terbentuk ketika udara dingin melintasi Victoria, apalagi setelah cuaca cerah pada siang hari. Hujannya sangat lebat dan biasanya disertai hujan es, angin kencang, dan penurunan suhu secara drastis, tetapi berlangsung sangat cepat. Cuaca sesudahnya relatif tenang dan cerah dan suhunya kembali seperti biasa. Hujan seperti ini terjadi dalam kurun beberapa menit dan bisa berulang beberapa kali dalam satu hari. Melbourne pun dijuluki kota yang memiliki "empat musim sehari".<ref name=autogenerated1>{{BoM Aust stats|site_ref=cw_086071|site_name=Melbourne Regional Office|accessdate=9 November 2010}}</ref> Julukan ini sudah [[budaya populer|populer]] di kalangan warga kota.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/info.cfm?top=269&pg=2325 |title=Welcome to Melbourne |publisher=City of Melbourne |accessdate=18 July 2008 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080719171215/http://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/info.cfm?top=269&pg=2325 |archivedate=19 July 2008 |df= }}</ref> Suhu terendah sepanjang sejarah kota ini adalah {{convert|-2.8|C|F}} pada tanggal 21 Juli 1869.<ref name="snow">{{cite web |url=http://www.bom.gov.au/jsp/ncc/cdio/weatherData/av?p_nccObsCode=123&p_display_type=dailyDataFile&p_startYear=1869&p_c=-1481637067&p_stn_num=86071 |title=Bureau of Meteorology – Climate Data Online |accessdate=6 January 2015 |archive-date=2015-09-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924045246/http://www.bom.gov.au/jsp/ncc/cdio/weatherData/av?p_nccObsCode=123&p_display_type=dailyDataFile&p_startYear=1869&p_c=-1481637067&p_stn_num=86071 |dead-url=no }}</ref> Suhu terpanas sepanjang sejarah kota ini adalah {{convert|46.4|C|F}} pada [[kebakaran semak Sabtu Hitam|7 Februari 2009]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/cw_086071_All.shtml |title=Monthly climate statistics |publisher=Bureau of Meteorology |accessdate=30 March 2012 |archive-date=2019-10-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191031175240/http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/cw_086071_All.shtml |dead-url=no }}</ref> Meski salju sering turun di dataran tinggi di pinggiran terluar Melbourne, salju tidak pernah turun di kawasan CBD sejak 1986.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bom.gov.au/lam/climate/levelthree/c20thc/temp4.html|archive-url=http://pandora.nla.gov.au/pan/96122/20090317-1643/www.bom.gov.au/lam/climate/levelthree/c20thc/temp4.html|dead-url=yes|archive-date=17 March 2009|title=BOM - Australian Climate Extremes|website=pandora.nla.gov.au}}</ref>

Seperti daerah perkotaan pada umumnya, Melbourne menghadapi banyak permasalahan lingkungan.

Salah satu isu yang dihadapi adalah dampak [[kekeringan di Australia|kekeringan]] terhadap pasokan air. Kekeringan rutin dan suhu musim panas yang selalu tinggi mengurangi pasokan air Melbourne.

Melbourne seperti ibu kota negara bagian lainnya di Australia. Pada pergantian abad ke-20, kota ini meluas mengikuti prinsip 'seperempat are rumah dan kebun' untuk setiap keluarga, biasa disebut [[Impian Australia]]. Seiring populernya mobil pribadi pasca-1945, prinsip ini menghasilkan struktur kota ramah mobil yang kini bertahan di kawasan pinggiran tengah dan luar. Sebagian besar [[wilayah metropolitan]] Melbourne terdiri atas permukiman berkepadatan rendah, sedangkan permukiman di dekat pusat kota berkepadatan menengah dan mengutamakan angkutan umum. Kawasan pusat kota, Docklands, St. Kilda Road, dan Southbank memiliki kepadatan tinggi.
Melbourne sering disebut kota kebun Australia. Negara bagian Victoria dulu dijuluki negara bagian kebun (''the garden state'').<ref name="Age3">{{cite news

Melbourne mengalami pertumbuhan penduduk tinggi yang turut meingkatkan kebutuhan tempat tinggal. Lonjakan pembangunan rumah menaikkan harga dan biaya sewa rumah serta ketersediaan semua jenis rumah. [[Kapling (tanah)|Pengaplingan tanah]] marak terjadi di pinggiran terluar Melbourne melalui berbagai paket rumah dan lahan yang ditawarkan pengembang.
