Venue Hire + Event Applications
To hold an event on Council land, or at a Council venue, you can fill out a Special Event Application Form to apply.
(eg birthday party, wedding)
When completing a Hall Hire Application you must provide a copy of your current Public Liability Insurance min 20mil.
A Major Events Application is needed to be filled out for any large event (more than 150 people in attendance) which may have one or more of the following: stall holders, road closures, food and beverage vendors, alcohol for sale, fireworks, or may run over multiple days.
Should you wish to have alcohol at an event (except at the library), you will need to check the Liquor Licensing Commission website for requirements and apply for the relevant license. It is advised that you do this atleast 1 month prior to the event.
Timeframes
Below are the minimum timeframes for event applications to be submitted. We do encourage them to be provided earlier where possible. This ensures Council can assess and approve the event before it takes place.
When submitting your applications please provide as much information as possible regarding your event.
- Special Event Applications: TWO weeks prior to the event
- Major Event Applications: THREE weeks prior to the event
For any further information please contact Council's Events & Volunteer Officer during office hours Monday - Friday from 8.30am to 5pm on (08) 8640 3444.
