Archive

This archive gathers older notes from the venues section of AKP Images. Some of the entries listed here are past news items about tours, shows and events that have already taken place, so treat them as a record rather than a guide to anything upcoming. For current dates, tickets and venue details, the official artist, promoter or venue website is always the reliable source.

Why venues matter to outdoor living

Our main interest is outdoor structures: carports, pergolas, verandahs, decks, gazebos and pool enclosures. Venues give a useful, large-scale view of the same ideas. Open-air amphitheatres, covered forecourts, beer gardens and festival grounds all have to deal with the problems a backyard faces, only with more people: shade from the summer sun, shelter from sudden rain, drainage, safe access and comfortable seating. Looking at how a well-run outdoor venue handles these can sharpen your thinking about your own space.

Using the archive

Older posts are kept so the site's structure stays complete and so earlier references remain findable. If you are looking for something specific, the search page is the quickest route, and the full list of articles is available under All posts. For practical, current material on planning and building outdoor structures in Australia, including the questions to raise with your local council before you start, head to our Guides.

As always, building rules vary between councils and states, so confirm requirements locally and speak with a licensed builder or certifier before committing to a design.
