THE FINER DETAILS

Services On Site

Backpaddock Lakes is run on generator power. We will ensure the venue is fully operational for you, however please discuss this with us during your planning as some caterers/food trucks and bands require a higher source of power than what we can provide. In this instance you may require additional generator power at your own cost.

Access

We will arrange access for your event depending on your final hire arrangements. For some events, the lake and cable may still be open to the public at the same time so it would be available to you on a shared basis. We can confirm this as part of your booking confirmation.

Backpaddocks Equipment

Backpaddock Lakes has a range of equipment available which you are welcome to use as part of your event including some festoon lighting, picnic tables and games equipment such as Kubb, Petanque, Croquet.

Catering

Backpaddock Lakes has complete flexibility to whatever style of catering you wish to have at your event so we have no onsite caterers. Its up to you if you would like a fully catered sit down meal, food truck or spit. We can suggest options once we know the style of event you are after.
