Melbourne’s Most Unique Corporate Function & Event Spaces

The location of your corporate event venue will impact attendance, serviceability and the overall success of your corporate function. At The Timber Yard, we are ideally positioned in the heart of Port Melbourne’s industrial precinct, a highly accessible, landmark location with easy proximity to public parking right across the street.

Convenient to Melbourne’s CBD, as well as major arterials, public transport and an easy spot for taxis and Ubers, The Timber Yard is a guest-focused corporate venue for hire that has all bases covered. Whether it’s the ease of bump-ins, delivery of catering or simply maximising guest attendance, our Port Melbourne location is the perfect spot for all Melbourne corporate events.

As the most iconic corporate venue for hire in Melbourne, we appreciate the importance of accessibility and convenience. That’s why we have allocated up to 30 parking spaces on-site for our clients, their special guests, and their suppliers.

Guest parking is just as easy, with street parking spaces on Plummer Street or Smith Street, directly opposite our corporate event venue.

The Timber Yard is a unique corporate venue for hire crafted on the site of a former timber storage and fabrication mill. This iconic location presents a rich manufacturing history that influences the aesthetic of our corporate event venue. The Warehouse is our largest indoor space, a beautiful industrial-look room detailed with the original features of the former timber storage facility. Opening out to The Yard through sliding barn doors, this space is easily expanded to a lush outdoor garden setting ideal for cocktail hours or meet-and-greets, or to accommodate up to 750 more guests. The Wood Store and The Workshop are smaller, rustic buildings that create an unforgettable backdrop for presentations, displays, or bespoke functions.
