Adelaide Park Lands Multi-Year Event Licences
The City of Adelaide is able to offer event licenses for up to five years in the Adelaide Park Lands.
Eligible organisations are invited to apply for a multi-year event license in the Adelaide Park Lands. Applications will be open from Monday 25 March to Sunday 14 April 2024.
Long term licenses offer the following benefits:
- Ability to schedule and plan long term for both Council and event organisers.
- Confidence in longevity of site hire for events to attract and secure international talent over a number of years.
- An increased level of confidence and commitment to invest in infrastructure that supports events such as power and water, and
- Allows Council to more effectively programme Parks across a calendar year, which improves forward planning for rest and remediation periods for Parks.
- Aligns multi-year funding commitments with multi-year site hire approval.
This aligns with the City of Adelaide Strategic Plan 2024-2028 objective to: Create fun, lively and interesting experiences.
