Park bookings
Weddings and corporate functions can be tentatively booked up to 12 months in advance. Council will confirm your booking six months prior to the function date. Park booking sites are available for hire from $199.60 per hour (including GST). The minimum booking time is two hours.
Bookings apply to the park booking site you choose in the park. It includes the use of any facilities in that booking site such as a rotunda or power (if available). You cannot book barbecues, shelters (other than rotundas marked) or playgrounds for your specific use. Your group is free to share these facilities with other park visitors. Power points may have different phases (i.e. operate on different voltages). It is advisable to check your electronic equipment's compatibility before your event.
In some parks, as well as the designated site/s, there may be some alternative bookable areas of the park. Please submit an application and Council will contact you regarding the suitability of the area for your event, availability and fees.
