BBQ SAFETY
  ● Before using a grill, check the connection between the gas tank and the fuel line.
  ● Do not overfill the gas tank.
●   Ensure an appropriate fire extinguisher is readily accessible. A 4.5kg BE (powder)
       extinguisher is advised.
   ●   Ensure BBQ is on ground level away from flammable items such as marquee
       sides or tables. This needs to be at least 50cm away from the walls.
   ●   Do not wear loose clothing while cooking at a BBQ.
   ●   Be careful when using lighter fluid.
   ●   Do not add fluid to an already lit fire because the flames can flashback up into
       the container and explode.
   ●   Keep all matches and lighters away from children.
   ●   Supervise children around outdoor grills.
   ●   Dispose of hot coals properly - douse them with plenty of water, and stir them to
       ensure that the fire is out. Never place them in plastic, paper or wooden
       containers. You must not leave them on the ground or on site.
   ●   Never grill/BBQ in enclosed areas - carbon monoxide could be produced.
   ●   Make sure your BBQ is completely extinguished when finished.
   ●   Place a mat on the ground under the BBQ to collect cooking oil drips and food
       spillages.

BUILDING PERMIT
Exhibitors with marquees and structures 100sqm and above must have building
consent from the​ ​Manawatu District Council​. ​Unfortunately the time has passed for us
to manage this process for you. If your structure is 100m2 or more we advise you
contact the Manawatu District Council as soon as possible to arrange.
If your site requires a permit and you do not have one you will not be allowed to open
your site.

BUILD UP
Central Districts Field Days can be likened to a pop-up tent town, taking up 295,000m2
in Manfeild Park, Feilding for the course of the event. Putting this together is no small
feat, taking our operations team more than two weeks to get the area ready for you to
pack in your site.

POWER
We go to a lot of trouble to ensure the power supply is as reliable and safe as possible.
If you have any special power requirements please let us know well in advance. Our
system operates on an Earth Leakage System, which requires your equipment to be in
top condition and compatible.

All electrical equipment MUST be tested and have a current tag. Power will not be
supplied unless test and tagged.

Please ensure all suppliers understand this and they supply you with items that
are test and tagged.

If you have any doubts about your gear we suggest you get it checked by an electrician
in advance. There will be absolutely no exceptions to not using the Earth Leakage
System to comply with AS/NZS:3002 Electrical Installations (Shows & Carnivals). This is
for your protection. Underground cables are marked, please stay clear.

If you have ordered power, a power lead will be supplied to the boundary of your site,
this lead will be labelled with your company name and site number, please do not use if
it is not yours. Do not plug directly into lifeguards (big yellow boxes), you will be
disconnected.

If you use extension leads you must ensure they have been tested and tagged.

as goods on site. Also we recommend you have Public Liability cover – ours does not
cover you, unless you have purchased it. Please contact Christine O’Connor to do so.

rubbish in the correct bins nearest your site. If you have large amounts of waste to be
