Function Area Bookings - Kokoda Track Memorial Walkway

BOOKING THE FUNCTION AREA

The Walkway and the gardens can be enjoyed by all, free of charge, on any day of the week.

** Temporary closure and refurbishment **

We are pleased to announce the covered BBQ facilities at the Walkway will undergo a major refurbishment in 2025.

The work will commence early June and is expected to complete by early August 2025.

During this period, the entire covered BBQ area will not be accessible to the public, and bookings will NOT be accepted.

On completion a new hiring fee structure ($150.00) will be implemented. This is necessary to enable visitors to the Memorial to enjoy the new and improved facilities.

We look forward to welcoming you to our new facilities in August.

Bookings are essential, and a $100.00 fee will apply (the fee applies if you wish to use the function area and/or the BBQs).
