Organising an event in Murrindindi Shire

Whether you are hosting an event for the first time or have previous experience hosting events, you will need to check whether permission from Council or other agencies is required. Business Victoria has put together a free online 'Guided Planning Tool' which runs through a series of questions relating to your event. Once completed you will receive information that steps you through the sorts of processes and permits that may be required to run your event. The 'Guided Planning Tool' takes approximately 10 minutes to complete and is a helpful starting point for first time event organisers.

 

Register your Event

 

If you are holding an event in Murrindindi Shire, you are required to complete an Event Notification Form so we can help support your event and guide you through the process. It is recommended that you submit the form as early as possible to ensure that there is enough time to obtain any Council permits, such as Planning permits, Local Law Permits, Place of Public Entertainment permits, Asset Protection permits and FoodTrader registrations.

 

Once received, you will be contacted about your event and any Council requirements within 7 business days. If any permits are required, you will also need to submit application forms with further supporting information.

 

**Note: you do not need to go through the Event Notification process if you are holding a small gathering or event at your own home or property, this process is only for events that are on Council-managed land, other crown land or private land where a planning permit may be required. If you are unsure, please get in touch with our Events team.
