Catering Operators Expression of Interest

⁠⁠⁠New Year’s Eve attracts people to the city to celebrate the beginning of the new year.

​​​​​​​​​​​​For NYE 2023 the City of Melbourne is seeking expressions of interest from catering operators to participate at one of the four Official Celebration Zones - Treasury Gardens, Flagstaff Gardens, Kings Domain, Docklands as well as an additional catering location in Alexandra Gardens. The focus of the event is free entertainment, in the lead-up to the 9.30 pm and midnight moment. The City of Melbourne is seeking to engage a broad range of catering options.

Opportunities to be involved are limited and the final selection of successful operators will be the responsibility of the City of Melbourne. Submission of the NYE 2023 Catering Operators Expression of Interest and any associated materials does not guarantee inclusion into the NYE 2023 event. We are seeking interest from caterers who operate fully self-contained outlets. Self-contained meaning all food preparation, wash-up facilities, and service frontage is contained within the space of the outlet itself. Marquee-based vendors will not be accepted for this event.

How you can be involved​ ?

To apply, read through the following information and complete the online application form along with all documentation requested no later than 5 pm, Friday 8 September 2023.
