Holding a successful and safe event requires careful planning. Events often affect the day-to-day running of the city. They usually involve the public and often involve additional elements such as road closures, pedestrian management, health services considerations and promotional activity.
Events may also require the assistance of public authorities including Victoria Police, public transport providers and emergency services.
To apply for an event permit within the City of Melbourne, read the terms and conditions and then complete the event permit application form.
