The Town is seeking community feedback on its revised Events Council Policy, which sets out how events on Town-managed land are planned, approved, delivered and evaluated. The Policy aims to ensure events are safe, inclusive, sustainable and aligned with community expectations.
Key features of the updated Policy include:
- A consistent, risk-based approach to event planning and approvals.
- Clear principles guiding all Town decisions, including safety, legal compliance, financial responsibility, accessibility and environmental stewardship.
- Minimum requirements for event organisers, such as risk assessments, insurances, event management plans, compliance with permits, financial protections, and post event reporting.
- Defined roles and responsibilities for Council, the CEO, event applicants and Town officers.
This consultation provides an opportunity for the community, event organisers, local businesses and stakeholders to review the proposed Policy and share feedback before it is finalised.
