    Often calm and mild, a good season for winery and garden events.

  3. Winter

    Cold and often windy by the water. Plan indoor or heated spaces.

  4. Spring

    Changeable and breezy. Secure outdoor pieces and plan for showers.

Settings

Bay, vineyard or backyard.

Bayside and beaches

Corio Bay and the Bellarine

Waterfront settings bring views and wind, from the city waterfront to the Bellarine beaches.

Wineries and farms

The rural edge

Vineyard and farm venues often need marquees, lighting and power planned together.

Homes and halls

Suburban celebrations

Backyards and community halls across the suburbs suit parties with a relaxed hire list.

Local planning

Bay, coast and country.

  1. Bay and ocean exposure

    Sites facing Corio Bay or Bass Strait can be windy. Plan how outdoor pieces are secured.

  2. Queenscliff and Torquay

    Queenscliff is in the Borough of Queenscliffe and Torquay is in the Surf Coast Shire, both outside Greater Geelong. Choose your suburb in the brief.

  3. Travel from Melbourne

    If a supplier is coming down from Melbourne, allow for travel time in the setup plan.

  4. Cool evenings

    Even summer evenings can turn cool by the water. Plan heaters or throws.

Questions

Geelong and Bellarine questions.

Answers for events in and around Geelong.

Does this page cover the Bellarine Peninsula?

Most of it. Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads, Portarlington, Drysdale, Clifton Springs and St Leonards are in Greater Geelong, while Queenscliff is a separate council.

What should a marquee brief include for a rural Geelong venue?

The property address, the ground surface, any slope, truck access and whether mains power is available.

Is Torquay included?

Torquay is in the Surf Coast Shire, outside Greater Geelong, so it isn’t part of this page. You can still send a brief.
