Event Call for Dates
Parks Victoria receives over 2,500 event applications each year to conduct a variety of activities on public land and waterways, many of which are concentrated in a small number of parks.
To assist with a fair and equitable allocation of events, and to enable effective planning and resourcing, Parks Victoria has established a formal Call for Dates process to develop a calendar of events for select locations.
The process also benefits event organisers by enabling them to lock in dates for future activities. It is recommended that event organisers hoping to host an event at the below parks apply through this process for the best chance of securing their preferred date and location.
- Werribee Park (Call for Dates open 5 June 2023 to 14 July 2023 for the period 2024 – 2027)
- Albert Park Reserve and Lake (Call for Dates open 1 December to 31 December 2023)
- National Water Sports Centre (Call for Dates open 1 December to 31 December 2023)
- Point Nepean National Park (Call for Dates open 1 December to 31 December 2023)
- Yarra River, Maribyrnong River and Victoria Harbour (on water) (Call for Dates open 1 December to 31 December 2023)
