My Valley Events Calendar Listing Criteria and Guide

The MyValley website is provided by Brisbane City Council as a free service for local, national and international visitors seeking leisure options in Fortitude Valley. Council reserves the right to reject any event that is regarded as outside of that criteria or inappropriate, based on the following general guidelines:

  • the event must be open to the public in large numbers or be presented through an established retail, entertainment or leisure industry venue
  • the event must be located within the Fortitude Valley precinct area. Council is committed to supporting the continued growth of the Fortitude Valley via working with traders to create a vibrant, activated precinct. If your business is located outside the MyValley Precinct Area, please contact malls.management@brisbane.qld.gov.au for further information
  • the event listing cannot be for a small, commercial-based client event or for purposes outside of visitation, leisure and tourism. This includes small corporate events designed purely to drive new business
  • the event must have a specific start and finish date OR be a regular occurrence at set dates and times
  • the event must be at a set location that visitors can attend – state-wide or national events such as Red Nose Day are not accepted
  • the event must be open and relevant to a general audience, and not specific to business, leaders or professionals
  • the event listing cannot be a public invitation to a small gathering in a private residence
  • the event listing cannot simply be a venue or location. An event listing must be an activity within a venue or location e.g. Chinatown Mall is not an event, but  Lunar New Year in Chinatown Mall is an event
  • if a cost is associated with the event it must be included in the event description
  • the event must not be a business as usual event (e.g. weekly meal deals or sales etc.) If you would like to advertise a special deal or sale, contact the Valley Malls management team
  • the event listing must not be an advertisement for a business or just the opening hours of a business
  • the event listing must not be a promotion of a competition or nominations for an upcoming event
  • the event listing should be no more than 200 words
  • events may be excluded from the Events Calendar at the sole discretion of Brisbane City Council’s Valley Malls Management team.
