Its Local Government Area is the City of Melbourne and the City of Port Phillip.[1] It's borders are the Yarra River to the north, Wurundjeri Way to the west, the West Gate Freeway and a small private car park bordering Ford Street and Munro Street which is part of the City of Port Phillip to the south, and the railway line and Clarendon Street to the east.
South Wharf is located on the southern bank of the Yarra River, bounded by Clarendon Street, Normanby Road, the West Gate Freeway and Docklands Highway.
