The main access route is Barrine Drive and Albert Street off Commonwealth Avenue. The Floriade event site is a public event site that is monitored by security and the event logistics teams.

All vendors MUST enter via Regatta Place and sign in with security before proceeding to the Site Office on arrival. No vehicles are to be left onsite. Please make sure you leave time to do this - we recommend at least 1 hour.

Anyone that is driving onsite or entering Floriade prior to 9:30am will need to complete the induction.

Vehicle Pass

ONE vehicle pass will be issued per vendor for approved vehicles to access the event site during bump-in and after the event for packing up. Damsel and Sprout will arrange these for you - please send all details to Craig on craig@damselandsprout.com.au by Friday 8 October.

This can be collected during the allocated bump-in period and can be collected from the site compound. A vehicle registration number and the drivers contact number will be required to collect the pass. Please ensure you allow enough time to collect this prior to bump in so as to not delay other vendors.

Driving On Site

Drivers must always adhere to the following Vehicle Requirements when onsite: Speed limit of 5km/h;
Hazard lights must be used;
The vehicle travels on designated paved and/or bitumen roads and paths unless prior approval has been given by Floriade Event Management; Vehicles entering the site and vehicles ready to exit the site are required to wait until a staff member is available to escort the vehicle before moving the vehicle on the event site.

Please consider other vendors when parking your vehicle/s on site and ensure your phone contact notice is clearly displayed on the dashboard of your vehicle and your mobile is always with you.

No vehicles are permitted to enter the event site during the event opening hours as Floriade is a major public event.
