Australia 108 (previously 70 Southbank Boulevard) is a residential supertall skyscraper in the Southbank precinct of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Having officially topped out in June 2020, it became the tallest building in Australia by roof height, surpassing the Eureka Tower, and the second-tallest building in Australia by full height, surpassed by Q1 Tower.^[2]

The World Class Land^[5] development project consists of a 316.7-metre-tall (1,039 ft) apartment building with 1,105 apartments over 100 floors. Construction of the revised Fender Katsalidis Architects–design by Brookfield Multiplex commenced in 2015 and was completed in 2020.

Prior to its current form, plans were initially for a 72–level residential building with a height of 226 metres (741 feet). In 2012, these plans were revised and resubmitted in favour of mixed–use residential and hotel skyscraper, reaching 388 metres (1,273 feet) and comprising 108 levels. This proposal was approved by the Government of Victoria in March 2013; however, it was shelved four months later after it struggled to meet conditions imposed by state and federal government authorities including VicRoads and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
