Please note: Event permits are only required for activities held on Council-managed public land (like parks, reserves or roads.) Events on private land do not require an Event Permit.
If you plan to hire a Council venue, like a hall or community centre, an event permit is not required. This also applies to the outdoor areas around that venue, as long as they're included in your hire agreement.
Use the options below to explore what's possible and find the right space, venue or permit for your event.
