Guidelines for event organisers operating in Centennial Parklands

Overview

Centennial Parklands relies on self generated revenue and income from events is an essential component in supporting the continued maintenance and improvement of the Parklands. We are therefore unable to waive event fees.

The fees for event venue hire are based on application and depend on the nature and scope of your event and the impact it may have on the Parklands. All venues in Centennial Parklands are hired as 'greenfield' event sites with no infrastructure or power available - with the exception of Belvedere Amphitheatre that does have access to power. Depending on the style and scope of your event, other cost factors to produce your event in Centennial Parklands can include the provision of all event infrastructure including but not limited to fencing, marquees, staging, portable toilets, lighting and generators for power.

The Venue Licence Agreement (licence) includes cost items such as:

  • Licence fees and Bonds
  • Provision of complimentary tickets to the Trust to the event as specified in the Licence
  • Payment post-event of any costs for damages, repairs and/or site renovations

Insurance certificates:

  • $20 million Public Liability Insurance for event organiser, suppliers and contractors
  • Worker's Compensation certificates for event organiser, suppliers and contractors

In addition, as part of the preparation and submission of management plans as per the Licence agreement you should consider the following likely cost factors:
