PLAN AN EVENT

I want to run an event - but where do I start? 

A diverse range of festivals, events and activities occur within the City of Yarra.

We value these activities for the contribution they make towards the diversity, liveability and vitality of the local area.

When planning an event, there are many regulations, permits and approvals that may need to be addressed. Our Event Permits team can offer event organisers valuable event planning and management advice to meet these various planning and approval requirements.

You are responsible for making sure you meet all the requirements needed to host an event or associated activity- please complete the online assessment quiz to check if an event permit is required for your event..
