The Rottnest Island Authority receives many event and function requests each year. When planning your event or function it is important to note that as an “A Class Reserve” there are strict protocols which apply to all events and functions that take place on the Island and its surrounding waters.
- Complete a Function Application Form (for functions expecting less than 200 pax attending) and return to events@rottnestisland.com with all supporting documentation and any fees applicable at least three months prior to your proposed event. If you expect more than 200 people to attend your occasion, it will be considered an Event and you are required to complete the Event Application Form.
- Choose your venue and contact directly for availability and bookings. We recommend you also confirm your accommodation, transport and catering requirements as soon as possible. If you wish to hold an outdoor function, please contact the Rottnest Island Event Coordinator on +61 8 9432 9355 or email events@rottnestisland.com. Note that restrictions are placed on functions for health, safety and environmental reasons.
