29 South Wharf Promenade, South Wharf
About the function space
Situated next door to the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre and with impressive riverfront and city skyline views, The General Assembly is the perfect venue to hold your party.
Yarra's Edge is as its name suggests, perfectly riverside and alfresco, with views to die for and the comfort of heating and a roof.
Toast to your fortune as the river gently laps the shore, and the stars and city lights twinkle.
Our onsite kitchen will serve up delicious morsels of party food to your hungry guests, while a portable bar will stock all your faves.
