Event Fees
Fees will vary based on the nature and size of your event.
You will need to pay some administration and site service fees up-front when you lodge an event application.
During the assessment process, Council officers will let you know if there are any necessary parts left out of the application. If this happens, we will advice you of any additional fees that apply.
After your application is assessed, we will also advise you of the balance of fees payable for your event. This will include a refundable bond and relevant park booking fees.
A food premise inspection fee is only charged if the event is randomly selected for inspection by Council’s Health Officers; individual vendors will be invoiced.
