Planning

Planning an event on Council-owned land? To help ensure your event runs smoothly and meets all necessary requirements, all event applications must be submitted with a completed Event Checklist.

The checklist is designed to guide you through key considerations, including:

  • Event details – date, time, expected attendance, and activities.
  • Safety and risk management – first aid, emergency procedures, and crowd management.
  • Infrastructure and amenities – tents, stages, signage, toilets, and waste management.
  • Permissions and approvals – permits, licenses, and insurance requirements.
  • Environmental and community impact – protection of flora, fauna, and public spaces.

Completing the checklist alongside your Parks and Reserves Hire Application helps Council assess your proposal quickly and ensures your event meets safety, environmental, and community standards.

Tip: Start your checklist early to allow enough time to organise approvals and coordinate with Council staff. Incomplete checklists may delay your application.
