Editorial Policy

Fitzroy Local exists to share the people, places and stories that shape life in this neighbourhood. Our aim is to spotlight small businesses, creative projects and local happenings, from long-time favourites to new arrivals and events worth adding to your calendar.

All of our content is carefully researched, reviewed and published by humans, drawing on first-hand knowledge, conversations and trusted sources. We do our best to keep information accurate and current, but things can change, especially when it comes to opening hours, events and menus, so we recommend checking directly with a venue or organiser before you visit.

We make our editorial decisions independently, guided by what we believe will be most relevant, useful and interesting for our readers. You can read more about our story and purpose on our About page.

Our Business Directory is designed to be a practical guide to local businesses, and basic listings are provided free of charge. We are committed to presenting businesses fairly and accurately.

If you spot something on Fitzroy Local that needs updating, or if you have a suggestion for a story we should cover, please get in touch.

Above all, we aim to celebrate local life with honesty, curiosity and care, and to create content that helps you enjoy Fitzroy even more.
