Use of the Luna Park loading dock is available by arrangement.

If any outside areas are required for drinks, etc an additional charge will apply.

The venue fee is for the times noted in the contract. The Hirer acknowledges that the Principal may suffer damages as a result of the event going overtime and so may be required to pay an additional fee, the minimum being $275 per hour or part thereof.
