There will be a charge administered to event organisers for holding events within the district on Council land. The scale of fees and charges applied are based on the size of event, event location and type of event e.g. community / charity / commercial.

If your event sits within one of our parks and open spaces, we will also request a deposit to cover the cost of any damage to the grounds. All deposits and charges will be discussed with organisers before the event is confirmed.
