Application and booking information

Place Management NSW (PMNSW) is responsible for many public domain areas and venues in The Rocks, Circular Quay, Darling Harbour, Pyrmont and Ballast Point which are available for hire. The spaces are suitable for corporate hospitality functions, product displays or launches, festivals, exhibitions and promotions as well as wedding ceremonies. 

For more information on the operational criteria required to obtain an approval and event licence agreement from PMNSW please refer to the Outdoor Events Manual. More specific details about how best to use these spaces and the standard conditions to deliver a successful event can be found within the Outdoor Events Policy.

Application Process & Timeframe

To proceed with a formal application please complete the Event License Application and submit to venuehire@property.nsw.gov.au to review availability

Please note, receipt of your application does not constitute a confirmed booking. Your booking will not be confirmed in the PMNSW calendar until your application has been fully assessed.

Once your Event Application has been assessed you will be issued with a venue hire quote. Your acceptance of the quote will progress to a formal booking within the PMNSW venue hire calendar and you will be issued with an invoice. After event compliance documents have been assessed and approved and payment has been received, you will be issued with a Venue Hire Licence Agreement. Upon return of a signed Licence Agreement, your booking is approved.
