In cases of severe weather, a Total Fire Ban, Extreme or Catastrophic fire danger ratings, Kings Park Education programs and events may be cancelled prior to or on the day of the excursion by the Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority. In this instance the BGPA will contact all booked groups. If the program cannot be rescheduled to another date, a full refund will be provided where payment has been made in advance.
