BOOKING INFORMATION
A maximum of 5 volunteer tickets can be booked in the initial booking period of Monday 6 April – Sunday 3 May 2026. (This can include a maximum of one ticket for a paid staff member if they are attending to support the volunteers)
If tickets are still available after the closing date of Sunday 3 May 2026, groups may request additional tickets for their volunteers.
We ask volunteer involving agencies to pay a small contribution of $10 per person for the event (inclusive of GST) with a 50 cent booking fee per ticket. This helps to ensure that volunteers attend the event as planned and reduces the number of no shows. The contributions will be used for a prize draw on the evening with all funds collected by council going directly to volunteer involving groups/organisations.
It is intended that the volunteer involving organisation pays the contribution, not the individual volunteer.
If the group you volunteer with is unable to support your attendance, please contact us to discuss.
Unfunded not for profit community groups may be eligible for complimentary tickets. Please contact Karen Molinaro before making a booking if this applies to your volunteer group.
We aim to give as many volunteers as possible the opportunity to attend a Council Volunteer Celebration, therefore we ask that where appropriate you request tickets for volunteers who have not had the opportunity to attend a Banyule Volunteer Celebration previously.
Please do not book multiple tickets in the same name or write TBC, individual details for each guest must be provided at the time of booking.
Bookings that do not provide the requested details will be cancelled by the organiser.
Council reserves the right to limit the number of tickets to any one individual/group/organisation.
Any tickets booked in breach of these terms and conditions will be cancelled and monies refunded.
PHOTOS
Please be aware that photos will be taken at the event and will be made available to guests that attended.
Photos of the event may also be used on Councils website, on Councils social media and in Council publications.
