Hold an event

Planning a street party, park wedding or large festival? We can help you stage a great event!

Depending on the type and size of your event, you may need to book a space or apply for a permit from us. You may need additional permits if you're planning to erect portable stages and marquees, sell food or alcohol, or let off fireworks.

We can help you consider any public safety risks and neighbourhood disruptions, and provide guidance on holding an accessible event. Accessible Events – Guide for Organisers
