Ceremonies, corporate functions, organised sports and large social functions
Bookings are essential for large social functions of more than 20 people, and are also required for any weddings, ceremonies, bridal photography, corporate functions, corporate promotional activities or organised sports, regardless of the size of the group.
A fee applies to cover park maintenance, and a cancellation fee is charged for all bookings. All bookings require the applicable form to be completed and submitted to Council with the relevant fee, and special conditions may apply for some events. If booking an area and erecting a marquee and/or amusement device, additional fees, bond and conditions apply.
