Events Policy Review

Council endorsed the draft Events Policy for public exhibition to seek community feedback. Events play an important role in strengthening the community and provide significant economic, social and cultural benefits.

The Events Policy aims to provide a framework for Council to support and assess events managed both internally by Council Officers and by external parties, including community groups, commercial entities and individuals.
