Guidelines for event organisers operating in Centennial Parklands

Overview

Centennial Park and Moore Park Trust Regulations (2009) guide all activities in the Parklands. Event organisers and their patrons are required to adhere to the Regulations, except where a written exemption has been granted by the Director and Chief Executive.

• Please note fireworks are strictly prohibited under the Parklands Regulations and exemptions cannot be granted.
• For example, activities that are not permitted under the Parklands Regulations, for which an exemption may be granted by the Director & Chief Executive include the operation of jumping castles and amusement rides, and an exemption from the speed limit for cycling races.
• Requests for exemptions from the Parklands Regulations should be lodged with the CP Venue Services team as early as possible and at least one month prior to commencement of site occupation.
• Our Venue Services team will advise in writing whether the exemption request is approved by the Director & Chief Executive.
• Please note firearms are prohibited in the Parklands under the Regulations.  If your security company foresees a need to have armed guards in the Parklands, a written application must be submitted and approval given in writing by the Trust’s Director & Chief Executive prior to the engagement of any armed security.

Vehicle size restrictions

Following are the restrictions for vehicles entering Centennial Park (current version as of 2 October 2008):

Centennial Park is a heritage listed asset designed & landscaped in the late 1800’s for a world of the horse & carriage where motor vehicles were unknown. Within the park there are numerous large trees the limbs of which overhang the internal roads. In many cases these trees have taken over 100 years to reach their present condition. The aesthetic & historic value that these trees provide is immeasurable & irreplaceable. It is therefore paramount that all due care & caution be taken into account by drivers of large vehicles prior to entering and moving about the park.
