Are you holding an event on Glenorchy City Council Land?

Glenorchy City Council encourages events across our City to activate spaces, bring people together and create community connections. If you are holding a public event or market on Council owned land (including parks, roads and facilities) you are required to get permission from Council by completing a Public Event on Council Land application form or a Market on Council Land application form. You will also need to provide a Site Plan, a Risk Assessment and provide a copy of public liability insurance for $20M.

This helps us ensure your event is safe, well planned and enjoyable for everyone, while protecting our parks, reserves and public spaces.

To apply for a permit, you will need to provide:

• A completed Event on Council Land or Market on Council Land form (see forms below)
• A risk management plan (see template below)
• Public liability insurance of $20 million
• A site plan showing:
  • the site
  • the location and size of all structures including temporary structures (e.g. marquees, temporary stands, food vans and stalls)
  • proposed car parking
  • Smoke Free Management Plan (where required)
  • toilet facilities

Depending on the size and nature of your event, you may be required to provide supporting documentation such as:

• Traffic management or road closure plans
• Food vendor or other relevant permits

For mass outdoor public events (over 1000 people for two hours or more), whether on Council or private property, you will need to complete a Place of Assembly form (see form below).

We encourage organisers to submit their application as early as possible to allow enough time for assessment and any required approvals.

When applying, please scroll down to see the forms and document resources needed to apply for an Event on Council Land or a Place of Assembly.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss your event, our team is happy to assist. Contact us before submitting your application to help ensure the process runs smoothly.
