Once you have prepared your event information, it's time to submit an Event on Council Land notification. This information helps Council to determine whether you need any permits or permissions.
Apply to hold an event on Council land
A Council officer will assess your event information and determine whether an event permit is required.
If an event permit is required, the Council officer may ask for additional plans, documents or evidence before granting permission. If you don't need an event permit, Council will advise whether you need other permits or permissions.
If an Event Permit is required, approvals can take from six weeks to three months depending on the complexity of your event. Most events receive permits within six weeks.
If you do not require any additional permits or permissions, you are ready to go ahead with your event.
If Council has requested any extra plans, documents or evidence, you will need to supply these to Council before your event.
Once received, Council officers will assess and either request amendments or approve your event.
Once approval has been granted, you may proceed with holding your event on Council land.
