Start with the activity, not the invitation. A seated workshop, a family picnic and a club meeting can need very different spaces. Kurilpa Hall and Orleigh Park both publish booking information, but offer different facilities and access arrangements.

What is included, and what stays shared?
Communify lists a kitchen and furniture at the hall, with swipe-card access. Confirm entry, setup and cleaning arrangements. Council says Orleigh Park barbecues and playgrounds remain shared, even when a gathering site is booked.
Read the hall hire guide or park booking guide for the relevant source links and checks.
Ask these questions before confirming
Ask for the total price, the usable booking period and what happens if plans change. Confirm the equipment you need and how guests with access requirements will arrive. For an outdoor event, decide on your wet-weather alternative before issuing invitations.
If you are still forming a group, start with ways to get involved locally. Venue availability and participation opportunities are separate questions.
