Functions and Events
You may need to complete a Function Application Permit. Permits apply to both small and major events where the Island's environment and services are affected, and a non-refundable fee is charged.  Payment of the permit fee can be made by cheque or credit card.

Once permission has been given for your function or event, an event compliance form will be forwarded for your signature. The signed compliance form must be received prior to your function or event.

Weddings
A wedding application for a permit should be completed if you are conducting your ceremony or a photo session in any location apart from the Rottnest Chapel, Holy Trinity Church or licensed venue.

Approval for the consumption of alcohol outside licensed premises must also be obtained from the RIA and will be granted for a maximum of two hours at an approved location. If you would like a celebratory toast following your wedding ceremony or during the photo session, please include these details in your wedding application.


If you are unsure if your function or event requires a permit, please contact the Events & Functions team at enquiries@rottnestisland.com or on (08) 9432 9300. Please note that applications for events should be submitted at least four weeks prior to the event, and that application fees are non-refundable unless your application is unsuccessful.
