[4] Elizabeth Street is the lowest point in the Melbourne central business district, with land rising both to the east and west, and more gradually to the north.

The street was built on top of a historic natural creek and has suffered numerous floods in Melbourne's history.

[5] The Elizabeth Street drain runs from Carlton in the north to the Yarra River in the south, carrying storm water from the inner northern suburbs and city centre.

[7] Elizabeth Street is home to many historically important buildings, modern structures and works of art.
