    Post-event venue inspection and bond refund

    After the event ends, Council will inspect the event area to ensure the park, garden or sportsground is left in the same way it was prior to the event.

    • If the site is clean and undamaged, your event bond will be refunded.
    • Where there is waste or damage, we may need to retain funds to cover cleanup or repairs.

    If you paid a key bond, this is refunded when you return the key.

    We wish you a successful event.
