Considerations

Marquee

Harry the Hirer is the official marquee supplier at the Show.

We strongly encourage any additional structures are ordered through our official marquee supplier, Harry The Hirer, and not personally installed structures.

If you intend to bring your own marquee, Event Management must be notified before your arrival on site and the City of Melbourne engineering requirements must be adhered to. Below are the rules to consider regarding the use of your own structure:

• Front of House
  • Must be branded i.e. not generic marquee with no company branding
  • Must be in good condition
  • Must be weighted/tied down as per the Event Management specifications
• Back of House
  • Must be in good condition
  • Must be weighted/tied down as per the Event Management specifications

Appropriate weights and tie-down equipment will be available at the Show for hire for a fee. You will also be required to provide engineering documentation for any custom structures.

Flooring/Grass Protection

As a requirement of the City of Melbourne all sites must have a grass protection method in place wherever foot traffic is expected within the site. Where a design is not used to protect the grass, exhibitors must use protective flooring from the Show’s official supplier, No Fuss Event Hire.

In 2024 the Show will be transitioning to Supa-Trac flooring for all package sites at the Show. This product is preferred by the Show due to it’s increased accessibility, durability, reliability and capacity to protect the grass within the venue, a requirement of the venue hire from City of Melbourne. Exhibitors are able to order the standard No Fuss Flooring (profloor) if desired for 2024, but the preference is for all sites to have Supa-Trac where possible.

It is the responsibility of exhibitors to ensure that areas within your site you expect/want Show visitors to enter should be suitably floored, and any negligence or failure to order sufficient flooring may result in the Show passing on any subsequent costs received due to damage to the turf. Exhibitors that order sufficient Supa-Trac yet suffer damage to the turf will not be held liable for any costs incurred.

Power & Lighting

Garnet Electrical is the official power & lighting supplier for the exhibitor sites at the Show. All requirements in this space must go through Garnet Electrical if performed on site with no exceptions.

Unlike previous years, the Show will include 1 x 10amp power outlet in the Site Fee for each Space Only site. Lighting is required for Gardens By Twilight for all exhibitors and can be order through Garnet Electrical.

Contact details will be provided closer to the Show.

General

Do not assume that the space outside your area is available for use, even if it was used in previous years. If you wish to request the use of additional space please submit your request to Event Management for consideration.

Sharing/Sub Assignment of Sites

The Show reserves the right to limit the sharing or sub assignment of a site across multiple brands/businesses. If you intend or wish to promote multiple brands/businesses at your site, you will need to provide information to Event Management prior to the Show for them to review.
