In most cases, detailed information will be required to support your event permit application. This information is needed to ensure:
- the venue is reserved for your event
- the venue is appropriate for your event
- the event will be delivered in a safe manner for all those involved and in attendance
- the event will not damage or impact on the environment – every event and activity using Council land must return the space in the same condition as it existed prior to the event.
In addition to requiring a permit to conduct your event on Council land, particular activities and types of infrastructure (marquees, stages, etc.) will also require specific permits from Council.
In general, all events that apply are required to submit the following to support the events application:
-
Event details and description
-
Site plan
- Health and safety management plan
-
Waste management plan confirmation
- Fees may be applicable
- Acceptance of general terms and conditions for the use of public places.
More complicated events that have more impact on the public, the park grounds, the traffic and/or the environment might require:
- Traffic management plan(external link) and road closures
-
Public liability insurance
-
Building consent (rarely)
-
Resource consent (rarely).
