There are two types of approval, self-assessable or assessable. The type of approval you need depends on the nature of your event.
Your event is self-assessable if it has an expected attendance of at least 2,000 people and does not:
- involve firearm or motorsport activities
- exceed 5000 people at any given time or more than 10,000 over the duration of the event
- start before 7am (excluding bump-in)
- finish after 10pm (excluding bump-out)
- involve road closures or traffic management
- involve the service or consumption of alcohol
- involve an outdoor musical performance where the sound pressure level exceeds 95 dBC when measured 15 metres from any speaker.
Events which do contain any one of these assessable risks and have an expected attendance of 1000 or more people over the duration of the event must apply for an assessable event permit instead.
