EVENTS REPORT – 1 NOVEMBER 2006 to 28 FEBRUARY 2007 Page 1 of 10 Page 1 of 10 MARKETING AND EVENTS COMMITTEE Agenda Item 5.4 REPORT 8 May 2007 EVENTS REPORT – 1 NOVEMBER 2006 TO 28 FEBRUARY 2007 Division Commerce & Marketing Presenter Peter Stewart, Manager Events Melbourne Purpose 1. To inform the Marketing and Events Committee of the events conducted within the City of Melbourne between 1 November 2006 and 28 February 2007. Recommendation from Management 2. That the Marketing and Events Committee accepts the Events Report – 1 November 2006 to 28 February 2007. Comments 3. The events outlined in this report relate to those coordinated through the Events Melbourne Branch of the City of Melbourne. A small number of arts events are coordinated through the Arts & Culture Branch and are not within the scope of this report. Water Restrictions and Events 4. The City of Melbourne has initiated a number of proactive strategies to significantly reduce the water consumption and water usage during events as a result of the current state-wide water restrictions. 5. These strategies involve utilising alternative or modified water-filled traffic management treatments; minimising water usage during vending, food preparation and drinking water fountains; using concrete/sand-filled weights instead of water-filled weights in infrastructure weighting; and utilising Class A recycled water for portable toilet flushing rather than drinking water. 6. As a result of these strategies being implemented, recent events have significantly reduced the level of water usage during events, for example New Year’s Eve 2006 utilised 250,000 litres less water and Moomba Waterfest utilised 300,000 litres less water than in previous years. Page 2 of 10 Event Activity in Melbourne 7. Events issued with an Events Permit for use of public space in the City of Melbourne between 1 November 2006 and 28 February 2007: Activity Hallmark Events 3 International One Off Events 3 Major Events 78 Community & Corporate Events 305 Filming 58 Weddings 178 Community Sport 52 Total 677 8. Following the introduction of Stage 3 water restrictions throughout Victoria from 1 January 2007, the City of Melbourne imposed a restriction on both casual sport bookings and pre-season training throughout all parks and recreational spaces, so as to minimise further impact on lawns and sports grounds. This has resulted in a reduction of bookings and revenue within Community Sport event category. 9. In December 2006, the work position of ‘Busking Coordinator’ was established within the Street Activity branch to co-ordinate all City of Melbourne busking-related activities, permits and policies. As a result, busking statistics are no longer captured by the Events Melbourne branch. City of Melbourne supported events 10. The City of Melbourne provides financial contributions to events that assist in the delivery of the City’s objectives in three ways: 10.1. the Event Partnership Program (EPP) provides sponsorship through an application and review process; 10.2. City of Melbourne owned and managed events; 10.3. major events that are supported through the yearly budget cycle; and 10.4. events that occurred between 1 November 2006 and 28 February 2007 that were financially supported by the City of Melbourne: Program No. of Events Value Invested Event Partnership Program 18 $640,000 City of Melbourne Events 4 $1,310,000 Major Event Partnerships 5 $536,000 Total 27 $2,486,000 2 Page 3 of 10 Event Partnership Program 11. The Event Partnership Program (EPP) is designed to provide sponsorship support to organisations delivering events in line with the City of Melbourne’s objectives. Applicants are only supported if their event helps to achieve one or more of these objectives. 12.

The following major events occurred between 1 November 2006 and 28 February 2007. Summer Fun in the City 15. Summer Fun in the City (SFITC) is one of the City of Melbourne's free programs of events, entertainment and activities which activate a variety of parks, gardens and city spaces. Held over the peak summer period from 2 January to 25 February the program caters for a wide demographic. Participants’ demographic range from children to over 50s. SFITC aims to bring a sense of community to City of Melbourne residents, provide entertainment for office workers and city visitors and showcase the city as vibrant and inclusive. 16. The 2007 program saw 13 different locations activated with 16 different programs, encompassing 105 events. For the first time, events were programmed at the Docklands, providing free entertainment to the newest City of Melbourne residents, tourists and Docklands workers. The Fitzroy Gardens hosts three of the largest events - Fairy Factor, Twilight Rhythms and Twilight Moves. The City Square hosted a Flying Trapeze causing delight to many who participated and watched causing a buzz in the city of the centre. The 2007 Summer Fun in the City program was enjoyed by approximately 65,000 people. 17. SFITC provides a unique opportunity for the City to program activity in new event spaces whilst ensuring they are of a high standard. The program is promoted via a dedicated marketing campaign which includes the production of 80,000 brochures, posters, web site and advertisements in the Herald Sun. The program is also promoted extensively via a dedicated PR program which focuses on metro Melbourne encouraging visitors into the city. Big Day Out 18. The world renowned Big Day Out music concert, that has been an icon of the Melbourne music scene for 14 years, took place in Princes Park, Carlton on 28 January 2007. The day saw a sold out crowd of 45,000 young and young at heart people enjoying a full bill of local, national and international acts performing on several stages throughout the day long event. 19. A great supporter of the local music industry the Big Day Out promoters again provided opportunities for budding local acts to be exposed to a massive audience and also supported a number of young music industry hopefuls by employing them to help produce the show. The crowd which was mainly aged between 17 and 26 were extremely grateful to have the opportunity to enjoy a world class music concert in the beautiful surroundings of Princes Park. 20. In response to issues generated from last year’s event, The Big Day Out promoter was very proactive in the planning for this event ensuring installation of measures providing protection of the parklands before, during and after the event. 21. The sporting clubs from Princes Park were relocated to grounds in Royal Park and also to grounds outside of the City of Melbourne with the assistance of Cricket Victoria. The reinstatement costs totalling $56,685.95 were approximately $20,000 less than the reinstatement costs from the 2006 event and were paid in full by the event promoter.

    Arts and Culture Unnumbered Sparks: Janet Echelman, TED Sculpture Foreword Imagine a world without performing or visual arts. Imagine – no opera houses, no theatres or concert halls, no galleries or museums, no dance, music, theatre, collaborative arts or circus – and in an instant we appreciate the essential, colourful, emotive and inspiring place that creative pursuits hold in our daily life. Creating opportunities for arts to flourish is vital, and this includes realising inspiring venues which are cutting edge, beautiful, functional, sustainable, have the right balance of architecture, acoustics, theatrical and visual functionality and most importantly are magnets for artists and audiences, are enjoyable spaces and places, and allow the shows and exhibitions to go on. 4 Performing Arts Bendigo Art Gallery 5 Performing Arts Arts and Culture Performing and Visual Arts 03 08 – 87 88 – 105 Foreword Performing Musicians, Arts Artists, Sculptors and Festivals 106 – 139 140 – 143 144 Visual Arup Services Photography Arts Clients and Credits Collaborators Contents Foreword 3 Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall 46 Singapore South Bank Studio, Queensland Symphony Orchestra 50 Australia Performing Marina Bay Sands Theatres 52 Arts 8 Singapore Elisabeth Murdoch Hall Federation Concert Hall 56 Melbourne Recital Centre 10 Australia Australia Chatswood Civic Place 58 Sydney Opera House 14 Australia Australia Carriageworks 60 Glasshouse Arts, Conference and Australia Entertainment Centre 16 Australia Greening the Arts Portfolio 64 Australia Melbourne

  • Music Reading Read the Passage, the E-Mail and the Festival Guide. the Glastonbury Festival Is an Unforgettable Sight. for Three
    Music Reading Read the passage, the e-mail and the festival guide. The Glastonbury Festival is an unforgettable sight. For three days, 280 hectares of peaceful farm country in the beautiful Somerset Valley become a vast, colourful tent city. The Glastonbury Festival is Britain's largest outdoor rock concert, and it attracts crowds of more than 100,000 people. It has six separate stages for musicians to play on. It has eighteen markets where fans can buy things. It has its own daily newspaper and is even broadcast live on television. It also raises large amounts of money for several charities, including Greenpeace and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. Glastonbury is just one of many events on the international music festival calendar each year. For dance music fans, there's Creamfields, the Essential Festival and Homelands - all in the UK. Rock fans have Roskilde Festival in Denmark, Fuji Rock and Summer Sonic in Japan, and the Livid Festival and the Big Day Out in Australia. And the crowds just keep getting bigger. In fact, the size of some of these festivals is causing problems. Since the deaths of nine people at Roskiide in 2000 and the death of a young woman at the 2001 Big Day Out, festival organisers and local police have been working together to make sure festival-goers stay safe. Despite these tragic events, festivals are more popular than ever. And it's not just about the music. It's about making new friends and partying non-stop for days at a time. It's about dancing till you can't stand up anymore and then crashing in someone else's tent.

    WE’RE FESTIVAL VETERANS Getting value for money from your festival branding activity requires research, planning, creativity, and an appreciation that you’re venturing into an environment where brands can be welcomed, tolerated, ignored or vilified. We have a long history of helping clients win cut through at festivals around the world, these include: R ECOVE FESTIVALS NOT RIGHT F OR YOU? THINK AGAIN With younger festival goers increasingly priced out of the game, today’s festival audience largely comprises Millenials, people in their thirties. This also explains the increasing number of festivals catering for families, cultural, literary and culinary enthusiasts. It also means an opening of the way for brands that previously might have never thought about investing in a festival. And a growing number are realising this is an environment that can yield results; there’s a lot more to festivals than mud, booze, rock and roll.

  • Melbourne׳S Rockin׳ Venues
    Melbourne’s Rockin’ Venues The Palais Theatre Most punters in Melbourne have had a Palais experience at least once. Maybe you saw The Rolling Stones in ’66, or went to Jesus Christ Superstar or The Andrew Durant Memorial Concert in the 70’s? Today it remains a grand old dame, still hosting iconic shows. Here is a cool link to its history: https://palaistheatre.com.au/venue/venue-history Armstrong Studios Basically, it was our Abbey Road. Whispering Jack was recorded here, and many other acts came to avail themselves of its world class facilities. (U2, Paul McCartney, Madonna, Bob Dylan, Split Enz, Crowded House and many more) Bill Armstrong started out in a terraced house in South Melbourne before moving operations to an old butter factory in Bank street. The work recorded here is a staggering list of Australian Rock & Entertainment. Wikipedia has the story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armstrong_Studios Festival Hall The “House of Stoush” in West Melbourne has hosted Wrestling, The Beatles, Boxing, Jethro Tull, Roller Derbies, Black Sabbath, Chuck Berry, The Bee Gees, Roy Orbison & hundreds more eclectic shows over its six-decade history. Recently, it was saved from high rise ‘re-development’ by concerned councils & ratepayers. https://blogs.unimelb.edu.au/archives/boxing-ballroom-dancing-and-the-bishop-of-coventry- festival-hall-and-stadiums-pty-ltd/ http://www.jpgr.co.uk/ven_melbourne.html Melbourne Town Hall A strange rock venue you might think, but The Beatles & Abba have both waved at the crowds from its balcony. If you take the MTH tour, you can wave from there too! https://whatson.melbourne.vic.gov.au/Whatson/tours/ground/Pages/b974dd12-59a5-4de8- a7b0-d8c2f82385ec.aspx?_ga=2.257283979.127260475.1547370975- 471500608.1542539087 Swanston St/ACDC Lane It takes a flatbed truck, a great song, a film crew from Countdown, and a rock band with bagpipes to create one of the greatest Aussie anthems of all time, It’s a Long Way to the Top (If you wanna Rock n’ Roll) This is where ACDC made one of their most remembered film clips in the 70’s.
