Australian Enterprise Awards 2025

Corporate Vision Best Nightclub Venue 2025 – Melbourne Platform One is an upscale nightclub based in the heart of Melbourne. Offering patrons the opportunity to experience luxury nightlife through exclusive events and a range of VIP services, every night at this club is unforgettable for all the right reasons. Brushing shoulders with professionals, socialites, and general good-time seekers, those who visit can enjoy the sort of high-energy atmosphere that is expected from a nightclub, but with a more than welcome air of sophistication. A standout venue in Melbourne’s bustling nightlife scene, Platform One distinguishes itself by bringing together great fashion and better music, underpinning it all with a definitive sense of class. Offering an experience and not just a night out, those lucky enough to be able to visit this premier nightclub will enjoy an eclectic mix of all the best dance-oriented genres – such as RnB, hip-hop, and house. The famous weekend events hosted here have been raising the roof now since 2002 and only continue to get bigger and better with every passing year. The attention to detail that goes into Platform One’s legendary events is reflected first and foremost in the venue itself. Situated in the historic Banana Alley vaults, which have been standing since 1891, the team behind the club have transformed two tunnels under the local Flinders Street Station into a space brimming with LED lighting displays and rolling beats. With room for nearly 700 across three distinct areas, Platform One’s layout allows for the perfect balance to be struck between spacious comfort and close intimacy. Its primary area is a spacious room where up to 500 guests can dance, sit, and socialise. A large DJ booth sits on the fringes of a vast dancefloor, and surrounding this open space is a raised lounge area complete with comfy seating and parallel, brightly lit drinks tables – offering up a textbook nightclub vibe for those seeking to let their hair down at the end of the week. For those in search of something a little quieter, Platform One’s front room (the Gold Room) can hold around 60 guests and again has its own DJ booth and lounge areas. At the back of Platform One lies the Platinum Room, which, as its name suggests, is the exclusive area – a room where 120 guests can party in privacy and enjoy a VIP nightclub experience like no other. Often used as function space, the Platinum Room is perfect to celebrate a birthday or another special occasion. With a private bar, its own DJ, and modern décor, this self-contained space is unique and offers a totally one-of-a-kind experience. It is not only this back room that is able to be rented out however, and those who are seeking to truly make the most of their time at Melbourne’s best nightclub can hire the entire venue for their own personal use. This offers space for up to a staggering 680 guests, so the only problem will be finding the people to fill it! The ability to hire out the entire venue is the culmination of the team’s recent function/event hosting initiatives, all of which are geared towards providing the exclusive and highend experiences Platform One is seeking to offer. “Whether it’s a product launch, a milestone celebration, or a corporate networking event, we work closely with clients to ensure every detail is customised to their needs. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, and we’ve seen a growing demand for unique, private event spaces within the venue.” Further boosting the standing of the club is the fact that it has previously played host to some of the biggest names synonymous with this scene, including Nelly and Kid Ink. These A-list figures corroborate what anyone who has visited Platform One before already knows – that there is no better place in the city to go to experience the immersive and experiential events that are today highly sought after in the nightlife industry. As we move through 2025, keeping this reputation intact is the club’s main focus. From expanding its presence in this space by introducing new events to partnering with more brands to bring in international talent and offer exclusive collaborations, Platform One is on track to become the leading force in Australia’s nightlife scene. Everything from its weekly KaotiK Club events to the famous Caramel Sundays it hosts with a dynamic line-up of DJs demonstrate its ability to do just that, and it is for this reason that Platform One is a key feature in our Australian Enterprise Awards 2025.
