  • Event organisers must provide a signage plan for their event, detailing the following:

  • Please note that pole posters are considered litter and are not permitted in or around the Parklands. Fines apply.

Variable Message Signs (VMS)

For events with significant impact on the Parklands, particularly relating to traffic congestion in the park, event organisers need to budget for the provision of VMS resources for installation in the Parklands prior to the event day as well as on event day, to give park users advanced notification of the event arrangements.

  • Our Venue Services team will advise on VMS requirements, including details of best locations, message text and timeframes. VMS may also be used for providing directional information to assist with managing evnt supplier access in the Parklands as well as event patron directions to and from the event.
