Major events like the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games (GC2018) shaped a lot of what we now think of as best practice in the Australian temporary fencing industry.
When the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Corporation (GOLDOC) brought on its official security fencing supplier in September 2017, it was a moment that highlighted the scale of fencing required to deliver an international multi-venue event in a major Australian city.
Industry commentary at the time noted the significance of supporting Queensland businesses on the largest event in the state's history. Almost 22,000 metres of perimeter and security fencing were required to support the delivery of the Games overlay — a scale that demonstrates just how much temporary fencing underpins large-scale public events.
For the broader hire industry, events at this scale serve as proving grounds. They drive manufacturers and operators across Australia to refine their products, lift their installation capability, and tighten their logistics. The lessons learned from delivering large-scale event security fencing for the Commonwealth Games still influence how the industry approaches motor racing events, music festivals, family events, and other major annual occasions today.
Rentafence is proud to be part of an industry that supplies temporary hire products to events of every size — from local community gatherings to large-scale national and international occasions — backed by an innovative product range manufactured to meet the demands of Australian conditions.
