About Southbank
Southbank is Melbourne's arts and entertainment precinct, a vertical suburb of 22,600 residents in soaring towers just 1 kilometre from the CBD across the Yarra River. The Arts Centre, NGV, and Crown Casino anchor the cultural and entertainment offerings, while residents enjoy walkable access to everything central Melbourne offers. Apartment living is the only option in this dense urban precinct.
Life here is intensely urban—world-class dining, riverside promenades, and cultural events are steps from home. The Sunday Southbank Market, restaurants along the river, and proximity to the sports precinct define the lifestyle. Southbank attracts young professionals, investors, and those who want genuine city living without suburban compromise. It's Melbourne's most urban residential address.
Southbank falls under postcode 3006 and is governed by Melbourne Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Albert Park (Southern Metropolitan) electorate.
