If the project is not on your land, you will need permission from the landowner to go ahead.
This includes events on Council land, such as parks and streets, for which landowner permission is granted in the form of a permit and may have conditions for events and other projects taking place on them.
If the landowner is unknown to you, it may be helpful to contact Life in Vacant Spaces(external link) who can enquire with the landowner on your behalf.
Time |
1 to 12 months |
A low impact event such as a small community gathering on Council land requires five weeks minimum to process an event permit application, whereas a high impact event with over 10,000 attendees and road closures requires six to eight months' notice. If the latter, see Use of legal road below. |
Cost |
$0 to $1,000 |
A fee is calculated based on the nature, scale and location of the project for which permission is sought and charged on submission of an application, and must be paid before the permit is issued. |
