The Shire of Wyndham East Kimberley is responsible for ensuring that public events within its boundaries comply with all legislated requirements and that the event organiser has been issued with valid Event Approvals.

Below is a criteria checklist, please refer to this to establish if your public event requires an Event Application form to be complete and approval sought from the Shire:

• A venue is being used for something other than its intended regular purpose
• The event is not a private function
• Traffic Management Plan / Road closure is required
• Car-park needs to be blocked
• Marquees, tents, structures will be erected
• The event is publicly advertised
• Portable toilets are proposed
• Entertainment equipment is proposed (e.g. live music, bouncy castle, amusement rides)
• Lighting is proposed/required
• Food will be available
• Alcohol will be available

These guidelines aim to:

• Ensure that all applications for public events meet statutory requirements.
• Assist organisers by establishing a coordinated and consistent approach to facilitating event approvals.
•  Ensure the safety of event patrons and minimise adverse impacts on local residents and businesses.
• Reduce Council’s exposure to liability risk from large public events at Council venues; and
• Limit the potential for damage to council buildings, facilities and infrastructure.
