There are loops, but I for one would not use them for overnight storage. Agree that all that area is dodgy. The Epworth Hospital might be a better bet in that area - good cctv at least but there a lot of crazy drivers in a hurry and hunting a parking spot. And you see some really creative parking too. I’m talking about the Erin St entrance, not the Bridge Road one. Getting off Wellington Parade is a good idea - there are parking spots in East Melbourne side streets and it’s a nicer area. Most of the inhabitants are not bike people so some tact in where you park your bike would be required.
There might be open bike parking in the hospital car park. Some car parks do have it and they’re not going to notice a bike that moves around occasionally. I’ll investigate more if I ever get the chance
