Submit initial event documents

At least 2 months before your event, send the documentation you've gathered to your Council contact.

In the email message, list any permits or approvals you have applied for that are still pending.

We'll review and advise of:

  • any permits or approvals you still need for your event.

Submit final event documents, including copies of permits and permissions

At least 2 weeks before the event, email your final event documentation to your Council contact.

Include any additional information we've asked you to provide, as well as copies of any permits, certificates or licenses you need for your event.

Council approval

We will review your event documents and, as long as there are no items outstanding, approve your request to hold the event.

If you're booking one of our venues, you'll receive an invoice for the venue booking fee when your event is approved.

  • If the event poses a risk of damage to the venue, Council may also request an event bond.
