Event Organisers Toolbox
The Event Organisers Toolbox has been developed, and is continuously reviewed, to assist event organisers who are planning on staging an event in the Dubbo Region.
Before you start planning your event, we strongly recommend that you reference the NSW Government Event Starter Guide. The Guide will help you navigate the event planning elements such as risk, health, security, volunteers and traffic.
If you are considering holding your event on public land (excluding designated event venues and sporting facilities) Council requires event organisers to complete a Major Event Application Form.
Major Event Application Form (PDF 1.6MB).
The timely submission of this form will enable Council to review the event activity, provide feedback and ultimately approve the event with sufficient lead time. Please adhere to the following timelines:
| Document Required |
Submission |
| Major Event Application Form |
Due at least six (6) months prior to the event
|
| Certificate of Currency |
Due at least eight (8) weeks prior to the event |
| Risk Management Plan |

Additional information is required by events staged on or impacting the roads network.
