Events Management Guidelines
Watch this space over the next month for Council’s new Events Management Guidelines aimed to assist groups and event organisers in holding an event. The various responsibilities and provisions required by Council are clearly outlined in the guideline.
Some events require organisers to submit a development application for approval from Council's City Planning Division. Development Applications can be submitted online or in person at our Customer Service Centre in Council's Administration Building, 41 Burelli Street Wollongong.
