Park Lands Event Management Plan Lord Mayor Foreword The Park Lands are one of Adelaide’s great assets, a defining element of our city, providing residents and visitors with recreational and cultural opportunities in a unique setting. Based on Colonel William Light’s 1837 plan for the City of Adelaide, 930 hectares of land were allocated for the creation of the Adelaide Park Lands, which now provide the community with an abundance of open space to enjoy life. While the Park Lands provide extensive picturesque landscapes, they are also a significant contributor to the liveability of the City of Adelaide by showcasing arts and music festivals, major sporting and cultural events, recreational sport, health and well-being activities, community events and casual visitation. Events in the Park Lands create an exciting and culturally enriching Adelaide experience, while contributing significant economic uplift for the state. The Park Lands Event Management Plan aims to support respectful co-existence between events and the local community, managing the balance of maintaining the Park Lands and providing the best experience for all users. The plan sets out a desire to foster cooperative business and social opportunities which provide benefits for all by ensuring a good fit between an event and their site. Guidance and support to event organisers is a strong theme, as welcoming, accessible and safe events leave visitors with positive lasting memories of our city. This plan sends a message that Adelaide has the desire to build on our reputation for hosting a broad range of events. It encourages innovation with the aim to attract new events to our city’s beautiful outdoor venues. We have a desire to attract culturally diverse events of all types and sizes, which delight and inspire. The Adelaide Park Lands offer a wonderful backdrop for a huge variety of events, and we look forward to working with the events industry to strengthen the role the Park Lands play in creating rich experiences in the City of Adelaide. 2 Adelaide Park Lands Events Management Plan 2016-2020 Contents Introduction 4 Part 1: Adelaide Park Lands Events Policy 6 1.1 Strategic Context 7 1.2 Definitions 8 1.3 Policy Statements 8 1.4 Policy Positions 9 Part 2: Adelaide Park Lands Events Guidelines 12 2.1 Planning a Great Event 13 2.2 Community Engagement 13 2.3 Access to the Park Lands 14 2.4 Caring for the Park Lands 14 Part 3: Adelaide Park Lands Events Action Plan 2016-2020 15 Part 4: Adelaide Park Lands Maps and Event Site Criteria 18 Map 1: City of Adelaide Park Lands Events Sites 19 Map 2: Victoria Square / Tarntanyangga 22 Map 3: Rundle Park / Kadlitpina 24 Map 4: Rymill Park / Murlawirrapurka 26 Map 5a: Elder Park / Tarntanya Wama (Park 26) 28 Map 5b: Pinky Flat and Adelaide Riverbank Lawn / Tarntanya Wama (Park 26) 30 Map 5c: Pennington Gardens West / Tarntanya Wama (Park 26) 32 Map 6: Hindmarsh Square / Mukata 34 Map 7: Memorials and Gardens / Karrawirra (Park 12) 36 Map 8: Ityamai-itpina (Park 15) 38 Map 9a: Main Kiosk Area Bonython Park / Tulya Wardli 40 Map 9b: Event Space Bonython Park / Tulya Wardli 42 Map 10: Victoria Park / Pakapakanthi 44 Map 11: Sports field, Peace Park & Pennington Gardens East / Karrawirra (Park 12) 46 Map 12: Palmer Gardens / Pangki Pangki 48 Map 13: Brougham Gardens / Tantutitingga 49 Map 14: Wellington Square / Kudmartu 50 Map 15: Light Square / Wauwi 52 Map 16: Whitmore Square / Iparrityi 54 Map 17: Hurtle Square / Tangkaira 56 Map 18: Veale Gardens / Walyu Yarta 58 Pilot Sites 60 3 Adelaide Park Lands Events Management Plan 2016-2020 In 2015, Adelaide earned the title for Best Event State at Introduction the Australian Event Awards, with Writers Week, held in the Park Lands, winning Best Community Event.
