Holding an Event on Glenorchy City Council Land

Planning to hold an event in Glenorchy?

Whether you’re organising a community festival, fun run, market, cultural celebration, sporting event or fundraising activity, we’re here to help.

If you’d like to host an event on Glenorchy City Council land, you’ll need to submit an Event Application before your event takes place.

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

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

• A site map
• Public liability insurance of up to $20 million
• A risk management plan
• Traffic management or road closure plans
• Food vendor or other relevant permits

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.

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.
