Apply for an Event Permit

Coastal Jam.jpg

The Shire is excited to support a range of events across the Peninsula by providing resources and tailored advice to event organisers to ensure the delivery of safe, inclusive, and vibrant events. If you plan to hold an event on Shire owned or managed land, you are required to apply for an Event Permit via our booking system 'Bookable'.

You need an event permit if your event is on outdoor Shire-managed land.
