PROJECT SNAPSHOT


Client	St Kilda Festival
Location	St Kilda Foreshore, Melbourne, VIC
Scope	Temporary fencing, crowd control barriers, shade cloth
Scale	1.5km engineered temporary fencing, 1.9km crowd control barriers

As one of Melbourne’s most iconic summer events, the St Kilda Festival transforms the St Kilda foreshore into a vibrant, high-energy celebration of live music, culture and community. With tens of thousands of patrons moving through the precinct, safe operations, effective crowd control and secure site management were critical to the event’s success.

Our experienced events team worked efficiently behind the scenes to install the temporary infrastructure required to support a smooth, safe and well-managed festival. Following the event, our team also delivered a rapid and efficient dismantle and removal, ensuring St Kilda was quickly returned to its bustling coastal hub.

What we supplied & installed

Across the event, we provided and installed;

1,509 metres of 54km/hr spec 70% temporary fencing
1,912 metres of crowd control barriers
453 metres of shade cloth (including customer-supplied)

This large-scale installation established secure perimeters, defined operational zones and strengthened vehicle and pedestrian separation throughout the event.

Crafting the ideal event site solution

With exposed coastal conditions and significant crowd numbers, our AS 4687:2022-compliant engineered temporary fencing provided enhanced stability across the event site. Wind-rated to withstand sustained winds of up to 54 km/h, the system was well suited to exposed areas along the St Kilda foreshore. Crowd control barriers also supported safe pedestrian movement and effective queue management, while strategically placed shade cloth enhanced site presentation and increased brand visibility.

Delivered with precision

Operating within an active and evolving precinct, our crews coordinated closely with stakeholders to ensure every metre was installed safely, efficiently and to specification. Ensuring the event was a major success.
