One of Victoria’s most unique function and evet spaces, The Timber Yard hits the trifecta when it comes to appeal – character, scale and multi-dimensional. These renovations and touches only add to the allure for both artists and audiences, blending the grit of the industrial Melbourne setting with modern, experimental nods. The new blackout aesthetic and architectural lighting bring it all together.

Following a $1.5 million AV upgrade, The Timber Yard now boasts one of the most advanced in-house production set-ups in the state — including over 100 moving spot and wash fixtures, a 9m x 3m high-resolution adjustable LED screen, D&B Audiotechnik distributed audio, and plug-and-play technical infrastructure. It’s perfect for the EDM concerts and industrial raves programmed in the venue including their upcoming events featuring Darren Styles, Meduza, Malugi and more.

Over the past year, The Timber Yard has played host to some of Melbourne’s most memorable moments, from the adrenaline of Ferrari and Lamborghini launches to the prestige of Porsche’s 70th anniversary, from the buzz of the Wine & Cheese Festival to more than 30 live music events including the legendary Ministry of Sound. The venue has welcomed some of the nation’s most renowned banking communities, including the Big 4 Banks, while also catering to the diverse and ever-evolving beauty industry with product launches for iconic brands such as Chemist Warehouse and Mecca.

To increase the comfort of the experience the additional climate control is a welcome feature during the upgrade.

“We are constantly striving to improve every aspect of the venue so that our clients and their guests have impactful and unique experiences, whether they are coming to the venue for the first or 10th time,” says owner and director,  Adam McKenzie.

The Timber Yard isn’t just versatile – it’s a multi-faceted powerhouse, hosting everything from media brands and sporting legends to hospitality icons and major charity galas. Now reimagined and redefined, The Timber Yard is where events go beyond the expected.
