(1)(a-r) There is no 'waiting' time as daily releases via the online booking system mean that bookings are available every day on the system from as little as two days in advance right up to six months in advance. Should a particular booking at a particular time and location not be immediately available the applicant can check the system again on occasion to look at the next lot of releases, or they may secure a booking that has been cancelled by another applicant.
Regional Areas are subject to local arrangements and demand.
