Approval for events at Greyleigh

Greyleigh, a luxury accommodation venue on Long Brush Road at Jerrara, has received approval to target the destination wedding market.

“We are targeting the top end of the market, there isn’t anything comparable down here,” says the new General Manager, Hamish McCallum, who has 25 years’ experience in the weddings, events and hospitality industry.

“This is going to be great for local employment and a boost for local businesses,” says Erica Warren, Greyleigh’s Accommodation and Venue Manager.

“We estimate it will generate $3.9 million in additional spending for other businesses in the region – including accommodation providers, florists, hairdressers, caterers and the like.”

She says this is on top of a typical wedding of 120 people directly employing a minimum 50 people on site.

Since the renovation of the historic homestead, the venue has aspired to host weddings and other events but it has taken time to get the approval, given concerns about noise and traffic.

Greyleigh has now received approval for the temporary use of the farm to hold 52 events for up to 250 people a year, in marquees with all facilities in temporary structures.

The permission isn’t restricted to weddings, and may include corporate or
