 Central Pier

Central Pier’s heritage-listed sheds have been transformed into some of Melbourne’s most spectacular function venues, including the Va Bene restaurant and the opulent Alumbra bar. With views of the water in three directions, it’s no wonder Central Pier is a favourite spot for functions and gatherings.

 

Central Pier is also the drop off point for many charter boats and is home to Melbourne’s Superyacht Marina.
