2026 Picnic Day: Hours of operation
This event guide provides a comprehensive overview of the planning and delivery of events, with a particular focus on activities held on council-managed land and within council facilities. It outlines key considerations such as permits and approvals, risk management, safety and compliance, stakeholder engagement, site planning, and environmental responsibilities. While tailored to council contexts, the guide also covers broader event management principles—including logistics, marketing, accessibility, and post-event evaluation—to support organisers in delivering safe, well-coordinated, and successful events of all sizes.
