The event also features an artificial ice-skating rink, amusement rides, roving performers, a 7-hour stage program, over 40 food, market and community stalls, free arts and crafts workshops and a fireworks finale.
Patrick Mageean, Festivals and Events Officer, says: “I found using OnePlan for planning our event extremely beneficial. Plotting temporary infrastructure on a street is no easy task and the up-to-date maps ensured I was aware of any new infrastructure, trees and pedestrian crossings which can affect where I can locate things!
“The measuring tool was also great and saved many site visits, especially during a cold and wet winter in Melbourne.”
Patrick continues: “I also really like the ability to use common icons such as first aid, information, hydration and so on. This made showing the locations during the briefing of staff and volunteers much easier on the day. Finally, I also loved the ability to colour code infrastructure – we received great feedback from our contractor about this which made it so much easier to know which stalls where hiring a marquee and those that weren’t.”
We love the use of the different road signs used in this event plan to signal which roads will be closed during the course of the festival. The precise labelling across the event site enables the organiser to easily see every aspect of this festival in one single source of truth – enabling a smooth run up to the event.
