Festival Guide

The Essentials

Accessibility

We are committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone. However, due to the natural terrain of the site, accessibility is limited.

The festival is held on uneven ground with slopes and unsealed surfaces forming the path to the main stage and other areas, which may make navigation difficult for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility. Please note that toilet facilities on site are not wheelchair accessible.

The Gully is a quiet space located away from the dancefloor for anyone who would like a place to rest and reset. There are also plenty of spots to sit down near the main stage.

Most stage lighting will be ambient, with gentle pulsing effects. However, some sets will include flashing lights that may feel intense for some viewers. Announcements will be made ahead of these sets, and you can also check the symbols in the Festival Programme (page xx) for any higher-intensity lighting. Set times will be displayed around the site for easy reference.

If you have specific access requirements or would like to discuss how we may be able to support your attendance, please reach out to us via email at info@forthecause.com.au in advance. We will do our best to assist where possible and are always open to feedback to help us grow.

BYO

This festival is BYO. Please consume alcohol responsibly and always look after yourself and others.

Drinks must be brought on site in cans or plastic bottles. Glass containers are banned from this event - this means no beer, wine or champagne bottles.

There won't be any ice for sale at the festival, so be sure to grab what you need on the drive in.

Cigarette Butts and Vapes

Smoking and vaping is allowed, however please be mindful of the people and space around you. Use the ashtrays provided near the stage or keep a small container with you to ensure cigarette butts are fully out and disposed of properly. Take care when putting out cigarettes, particularly near installations, stage equipment, generators, and grassy areas.

Flicking butts on the ground creates fire risks and harms the environment, so let's keep the site looking good for everyone. Please take your used vapes home with you and dispose of them responsibly.

Keeping the Site Clean

We ask everyone to pick up any rubbish around their campsite and communal areas, pack things away neatly and help leave the space better than you found it. Many hands make light work, and it helps keep the site safe, clean and enjoyable for everyone.

Cooking

A 24/7 fire ban will be in place for the entire duration of the event.

Under these conditions, gas cooking is not permitted. Please ensure any gas bottles and cylinders have been removed before you leave home - you won't be able to bring them in.

Drinking Water

Drinking water will be available on site, but we recommend bringing your own supply (10L or more per person) to keep at your campsite.

Don't forget a refillable bottle to keep yourself hydrated all weekend, as there are no single-use plastic water bottles sold on site.

Phone Coverage

Mobile reception at the site is patchy and can be unreliable. You may experience slow service, limited signal or periods with no coverage. Please anticipate not being able to contact anyone once you arrive on site.

We recommend making important calls, downloading maps and saving tickets or essential information before you arrive.

Plan ahead and check in with your crew prior to arriving.

Rubbish

Looking after this land is a shared responsibility and a principle we stand by. You'll receive rubbish bags on arrival - please use them to keep your campsite tidy and help us care for the property throughout the weekend.

Please keep the land free from cigarette butts, stray zip ties, single-use plastics and anything else that doesn't belong there. Take everything you bring, including your rubbish bags, home with you and leave no trace.

Lost Property

Any lost property found will be taken to the Information Tent. If you realise you've left something behind after the festival, please contact info@forthecause.com.au with a description of the item and your contact details.

FTC is not responsible for the compensation of or replacement of any lost or stolen property.
