The NCA cannot guarantee exclusive use of a venue as they are public spaces.
There are several separate venues within Aspen Island and the Old Parliament House Gardens so there may be more than one wedding at the same time.
There is a $25 fee for works applications if you plan to erect any structures(see ‘What to Do’ in Planning an Event)
There is a $25 refundable bond for the issue of NCA keys. (Keys are required to access power outlets and/or entrance gates)
There is no other fee for the use of a venue unless it is left untidy or damaged.
