The purpose of this report is for the Future Melbourne Committee (FMC) to consider a proposed increase to the maximum daily charge for the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show (MIFGS) held in Carlton Gardens. 2. The Melbourne Parks and Gardens (Joint Trustee Reserves) Regulations 1994 (Regulations) sets out conditions for using Carlton Gardens for a horticultural exhibition (Attachment 2). The Regulations are made under section 13 of the Crown Land (Reserves) Act 1978 by the Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change and Melbourne City Council as trustee, with the approval of the Governor in Council. 3. The horticultural exhibition referred to in the Regulations is MIFGS, owned by the Flower and Garden Show Limited (FGSL). 4. The Regulations currently stipulate, amongst other things, that the maximum daily charge for a horticultural exhibition in Carlton Gardens cannot exceed $29.90 per person. The process to amend the Regulations first requires a Council resolution in support followed by, amongst other steps, approval from the Governor in Council and for the new Regulations to then be published in the Victoria Government Gazette. 5. Council last resolved to increase the maximum daily charge from $20 to $30 per person (over a period of time) in May 2011 (Attachment 3). 6. FGSL have approached management wanting to amend the Regulations by increasing the maximum daily charge from $29.90 to $40, to allow FGSL to gradually increase the ticket price over the next five years.
