Frequently asked questions
How do we reserve the shelter shed or wedding sites?
Contact DERM Permits and Licencing Management to find out dates available and make a temporary booking.
You will need to complete a group activity permit application form and return your completed form with the appropriate payment. Fees are detailed at the end of this form. A permit will be forwarded to you.
Temporary bookings will be cancelled if payment is not received within four weeks.
Can we decorate the wedding venue?
Decorations, signs or any similar device must be either free-standing or tied to the facility, not nailed or tacked, and must be removed at the end of the ceremony.
Can we play music or use speakers during our ceremony?

In wet weather is there an alternative venue or shelter available?
