If you intend to engage external caterers for your function in Kings Park and Botanic Garden, there are guidelines in place that must be followed. Please refer to the Catering and Alcohol Guidelines below for more information.
Barbecues are provided free of charge and are available to all visitors of the park. As such, they cannot be reserved for exclusive use regardless of a venue booking. The use of portable barbecues requires written permission from the Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority and will only be considered for catered functions or for groups of 80 people or more.
Ice from eskies must be emptied onto mulched areas. Under no circumstances should ice be emptied onto the lawn or garden beds due to the damage it causes.
In the interest of public health and safety, the Authority promotes a smoke and glass free venue.
