This page explains how Melbourne Local Guide researches, checks and updates its guides.
Where our facts come from
- Practical details (opening hours, prices, addresses, transport routes, event dates) come only from the venue’s own website or the responsible authority, such as Transport Victoria, the City of Melbourne, the Victorian Government or the National Trust.
- History and background come from the venue’s own history pages or another authoritative source, which we link in the guide’s sources list.
- If we can’t confirm a claim from a reliable source, we leave it out.
Dates and “check before you visit”
Each guide shows when its details were last checked. Hours, prices and timetables change, so we mark those details with “check before you visit” and link to the official page.
What we don’t do
- We don’t invent reviews, quotes, credentials or statistics.
- We don’t accept payment to change what a guide says about a place.
Use of AI tools
We use AI tools to help research and draft guides. Practical details are checked against the official source, and Puneet Bawa reviews and approves every guide before it is published.
Corrections
If you spot a mistake or something out of date, please tell us through our Contact page. We check the report against the official source, correct the guide and update its “last checked” date. Significant corrections are noted at the end of the guide.
