Search, shortlist or just brief us!

Searching for a space is a simple and straightforward process. By using our search engine and shortlisting tools you can find the best space for your upcoming project, whether you are looking for a specific room, house or location. We currently cater for private spaces with public and commercial spaces coming soon so if you cannot find what you are looking for you can send us your brief.

Booking

When you are happy with the space you can request to book using the booking enquiry button via your shortlist or on the property profile page. Once our team has confirmed your request we will send you a quote. Once your quote is signed and accepted you can complete payment via credit card. For all bookings on the platform we require proof of your public liability insurance.

All bookings, quotes and invoices are managed on the platform by our team, and payments are managed via Stripe our payment provider.

Booking Fees

A Perfect Space (APS) charge a 15% fee on the location hire and this is added to your quote. For listers/home owners, APS will deduct the 15% fee before payment is made. The advertised daily rate is based on an 8 hour day and excludes APS fees. Additional charges may apply if overtime or exclusive use are required.

Additional Services

Additional fees for any services booked for your production such as location management, permits, location scouting, styling and event management fee can be serviced and added to your quote

Standard Recce

A standard recce is your initial first inspection for a maximum of 45 minutes. There is no charge for this. To request a recce you can do this via the property profile page.

Technical Recce

For a technical recce this can take a bit longer and will involve testing logistics of the space. The charge for this is $350 for a maximum of 2 hours. To request a recce you can do this via the property profile page.

Recce payments

• 100% payable at the time of booking.

Bond

• We may need to take a 30% bond which will be held on credit only to cover overtime and any charges related to damages, rubbish removal etc. Our team will let you know if a bond is required for your booking.

Overtime

Overtime is charged after 8 hours. Any hours outside of these are charged at an hourly rate equivalent to the location hire fee. This is charged at time of booking or using the credit card on file post booking date.

Cleaning

• Cleaning fee is mandatory and charged on all bookings for COVID safe practice.

For a specific fee breakdown, please contact us via the Contact Us page on our website or by sending us an email to [email protected] You will not be charged until a quote is accepted by you.

How do I book a Recce?

A "recce" is a short term for a required viewing. This ensures that you can view your space prior to shooting and determine it will meet the requirements. This also provides an opportunity to learn about the space and ensure that it is the right space for you. You can book a standard or technical recce prior to confirming your booking, just select the Book a Recce button to submit an enquiry and select the type of recce you need.

• If a recce leaves you dissatisfied with your choice of location, let us know and we can find the perfect space for you.

• Standard industry practice is that you will need a standard initial recce and then a longer technical recce to sort out logistics before the day. We know how important this is to you which is why we support both options.

• To book a recce you can do this via your shortlist or from this property profile page using the 'Book a Recce' button.

As well as offering private locations with public and commercial coming soon, we can help with stylists, accommodation, transport and more.

To meet our Hirer Terms and Conditions policy, we ask that you provide proof of your current public liability insurance.  Hirers should ensure they have a policy in place covering public liability and damage insurance for a sum not less than $20,000,000.00 (Australian dollars) including cover for death and injury of any persons using or attending the Location.
