You should try the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre in Albert Park. It has great facilities for toddlers and families, a wave pool, slides ect. If your daughter likes water activities it's a must. You could also walk around Albert Park lake and feed the ducks, nice walk.
If you want to go shopping, Southland (Cheltenham, about half hour or less from Port Melbourne) has a good play centre in the top level, ideal for young climbers and it only caters for up to 5 years so good for littlies.
Obviously there is the beach, there's a nice playground right on the beach in Brighton/Elwood at the end of North Rd, also a cafe there as well which you might enjoy.
You could go to Puffing Billy (train ride) - check it out on the internet, again I think a must for a visitor to the area with kids. There is a bit of a drive to get there (around an hour) but the scenery is lovely. They even have a special Thomas train but it only goes on certain days so look it up on internet. There are also lovely nick-knack shops around the Dandenongs which are great to wonder through.
Will let you know if I think of anything else.
