East Coast Park is a public space used by many people at the same time. Holding a private corporate event there means planning carefully around other park users, the operator's rules and any approvals that may apply.
The park stretches a long way along the coast, and different areas have different facilities. When scouting, look for:
Flat ground for seating, staging and tents.
Access for vehicles to load and unload equipment.
Nearby toilets and shelter.
Natural shade from trees for guests and crew.
Distance from busy paths, so the event does not block other users.
Events in public parks may need approval from the park operator, and some elements such as tents, amplified sound or food stalls may need further permission. Requirements change, so check current rules with NParks and any other relevant agency early in planning, before confirming the date with staff.
Where power will come from, and whether generators are allowed.
Limits on sound levels and the time amplified sound can run.
Rules on staging, structures and branding.
How waste will be collected and the site restored.
Share parking guidance, coach drop-off points and taxi directions in the invitation. Many staff will not know the park well, so include a map with the exact meeting point and a landmark to look for. Station a marshal at the main arrival point.
Keep paths clear, brief crew on courtesy and avoid fencing off more space than you need. A considerate event reflects well on the company.
